That only really applies at a small scale. At some point you either stop logging into them, or do it just to run some automation. I can't remember the last time I did something non trivial in a remote terminal now. (Apart from my home server which has everything I want)
This completely depends on the system architecture of your company and your job role, scale has nothing to do with it. There are so many giant Unix shops out there with people herding them day in, day out.
