Someone else's environment? That should never happen. You should get your own user account and that's it.

Sometimes we need to use service accounts, so while you do have your own account all the interesting things happen in svc_foo which you cannot add your .files.
I don’t even get an account on someone else’s server. There’s no need for me to log in anywhere unless it’s an exceptional situation.
This doesn't make sense.
You said you were already using someone else's environment.
You can't later say that you don't.
Whether or not shell access makes sense depends on what you are doing, but a well written application server running in a cloud environment doesn't need any remote shell account.
It's just that approximately zero typical monolithic web applications meet that level of quality and given that 90% of "developers" are clueless, often they can convince management that being stupid is OK.
They do get to work on someone else's server, they do not get a separate account on that server. There client would be not happy to have them mess around with the environment.
