Is anyone working in a "pruned download"?

Home yes, school possibly, office only if you own the company. Putting non work software on your work PC is a good way to get fired. Also, unless you are remote work and connecting to an office PC, more and more offices are shutting down PCs and everything else at night. It's a bit more secure and saves power.

Unless you are government official of some corrupt country, than you can run anything you want 
I know several examples of people like that doing Bitcoin for years in some countries (maybe they still are), and story even broke out in news.

OR if you work for a government office, which 100% has dirty politicians, then you definitely SHOULD install a Bitcoin node in ALL those government computers. Make them mine unprofitably too! It will be considered a public service. Ot's probably one of the demonstrations of the importance of pruning, you can stealth-install Bitcoin nodes in computers you don't own.

Drifting OT, but only if they don't have proper security and allow people other then the IT staff / administrators to install and run software.

Back OT, other then the savings of long term storage space I still don't think it's worth it. If you can get the d/l from what you think is a trusted source, then fine. But as has been mentioned, that goes against the verify it yourself principle of BTC

Going to leave it at that, I don't think either side is really going to change the other sides mind at this point.
