If you work at a company with more than 500 employees that does all but two of those, I'd like to hear more about that. As I wrote those bullets, I filtered them through my experience of consulting for F500 companies, and when I found myself writing something I'd seen reliably deployed across entire organizations, I edited the bullet until that was no longer the case.
About the closest I've come to seeing any of these bullets deployed reliably is Microsoft's developer training and deprecation of the standard C library, and that initiative was so out-of-the-ordinary that it was newsworthy, and widely reported.
But to actually earn that bullet, Microsoft would need to deploy those same measures across all its contractors, and, more importantly, deploy them on internal IT and line of business systems, not just the Windows and Office codebases.

Plus, the posts I read earlier didn't mention 'Fortune 500' or 'reliably' - and I'm glad you didn't use words like 'productive' and 'efficient'!
