Yes, you've nailed it. And if I could get one of these to hear me out, he can decide if and how to break those ruled in my favor. ;-)

You’d need to climb very high up the ladder within a large corp to find some_one_ with that power. Someone in the middle of the org has to weigh what to use own resources for, and which battles to fight (upstream). As there is little gain for them, the choice may very well be "I won’t touch this" or "not worth arguing". It would be different, if you’d be a section 509 org, or a honorable club (CHM or similar); such things would make it a bit easier to succeed.

Been there, done that (*)

(And I disagree with the "it’s the lawyers fault only!". The problem is IMHO a specific mindset. You’ll find this with lawyers, but also with IT —and other— folks.)
