I've experienced several instances of "antiquated convention" that were byproducts of batch job owner generation via a feature of Top Secret and ACF2. As are many old inherited conventions they're troublesome to remove, more for cultural than technical considerations.

If you have all your production jobs submitted under the same or just a few

I very rarely filter by owner myself though.

I do both, occasionally.  Normally, I filter only by owner and sort by date.

OP appeared to be concerned with security, to which OWNER is more
relevant than JOB name; if the intent is mostly to avoid clutter,
"PREFIX xxx*" largely suffices.

(And there's the silly antiquated convention that the owner must be a
prefix of the jobname.  That removes much filtering power.)
