Yes, I think the larger your company the less effective this "bossware" is. If you imagine collecting this amount of data on every sales, design, eng, product manager, director, vp, exec at a place like Google or Facebook the sheer amount of legally precarious logs would probably tilt toward liability.
I worked at a medium-sized tech company, and one employee sent an e-mail to another employee about how one of our product logos looked very similar to another logo in a similar product space. It was similar enough, and the products closely related enough, that this concern would have kicked off a re-branding effort or something like that... but since it was an e-mail, it sent off red flags all the way up to executive level. Triggered overseas flights, high-level meetings, legal involvement. Everyone working on the project immediately put on white gloves.
Made me think that more often then not, it's just better off for management to "not know", or at least have what they call plausible deniability.
Of course, for the "big crimes", it's good to have some level of logs collected and stored. For instance, no company should tolerate something like this happening, naturally: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-insidertrading-expedi...
