Not really. I mean productivity. For example- a few days ago, I needed to download and open a .tar.gz on my windows box.

In that case, I would have been UNABLE to work on my project until the program was approved. A simiar situation hits every few weeks- either a dl is necessary to do my job, or will save me hours->days of work. And its not always as trivial as an unzipper (which you could easily say should have been on the list already).
Who is the system administrator of your machine? You? Well, then, guess what, you get to decide the policies that are implemented to secure your machine. If you can't get a program to run because of a security restriction, you are the one empowered to remove that restriction.
