not creds that give access to the production system

...Isn't that what we're talking about though? Or did I misunderstand the OP?

Regardless, I'll just clarify anyway: Developers should not have a plaintext .env that can be used to drop (or risk in any other way) production data.

A practice like that is only as strong as the "weakest" member of the team – "Weakest" could mean the person who is the least careful, or least experienced, or least secure work computer/practices, etc. Scale up to 1,000+ engineers and the chances of disaster (data loss, leaks, etc.) greatly increase. That's just the human factor. Add LLMs into the mix and it's almost guaranteed.
