Does it actually happen to people? All servers I worked with both had a back door (or two), and someone at the data centre (during work hours at least) you could contact in an emergency.

Most data centers have some kind of service where you can request a KVM to be connected to the server. It's not instant as an actual human has to do so but a lot sooner than another human driving long distance. I guess in this case, it's a mid size company that is big enough to have multiple locations yet small enough to still manage to use on-premise infra instead of data centers.

I guess some smaller companies might have simpler setups they self-host

iptables default DENY and flush the rules. Done by at least two people I know (then me) at the same company. Led to them moving the servers in-house and virtualizing some services to connect to the hypervisor. It does happen though.
