Working at a large company (also not one of the famous silicon valley tech companies) and if you get a macbook, they are managed remotely and have BitDefender installed.
I sometimes forget how much big companies enjoy spending money. I once worked for a large company where every developer was issued a full copy of Microsoft Office, even though most of them worked inside a fullscreen Linux VM all day. Outlook was the only piece of Office that my coworkers and I used, and I would have been happier using a tab open to a webmail provider inside the VM than having to use Outlook to connect to Exchange. That was far from the only unnecessary software they paid for. Why use Git when you can pay for Perforce!
p4merge is indeed awesome. I work exclusively in Linux environments, but p4merge always gets installed. The experience has actually gotten better in that regard since git started supporting it straight as one of its 'mergetools'.

Enterprise volume licenses. It probably cost them less than the time/money they'd lose if you spenta few minutes trying to figure out how to open some file sent by non-devs.
Perforce integrates very nicely with a whole bunch of third party tools in a way git does not, and is on the whole a lot easier to use for most people than git (and I'm saying this as someone who doesn't like Perforce at all)
