My question was about the "scientists are not allowed to" part. I've never heard to such restrictions, and been in the field for more than a decade.

Any public facing IT system stood up in the higher ed system I am familiar with, requires IT support to be engaged. A part of that process is sending the request through a software review board, department's IT, centralized IT, and then assigned to a project manager.

Otherwise, it would be considered a rogue service, and turned off at the edge, and core routers.
