Tech should be a tool assisting people in day-to-day tasks, but not as a means to exclude (such as online-only access to services).

Plugging a random unauthorised device into a work computer or network is potential grounds for misconduct irrespective of the scenario, especially one that simulates keyboard and mouse movements due to a ready-made opportunity as a keylogger alongside its advertised function.

However productivity metrics that primarily measure input devices have always been dire as they ignore thinking would penalise anyone who can efficiently accomplish a given task in less clicks and typing.
