My last company deployed their tools to macs for sec scanning. It was configured to look at the docker desktop fs / dirs and security would not remove that dir from scanning. Made dev unbearable.
AVs are introduced by some C*O(s) has no idea what they are doing. For ordinary non tech people, it might make a little bit sense, but for devs, that's a complete disaster.

If devs have no idea what they are doing, they should not be hired in the first place. If they do know, then they don't need AVs.

I personally see those AV causing substantial damage without providing any actual benefit, and thus I removed them from my computers over a decade ago. The is one exception though, Defender on Win11, which keeps coming back updates. So I'm removing Windows with them.
