They actually can. But not every business is competent. It is completely irresponsible to query public services with internal company intellectual property or any type of information that may breach your contract that you signed with a responsible and competent business. It is trivial to track you do on business equipment and if you think you're smart by subverting that by querying public methods through other means, that can and will be solve soon. Someone is going to make a lot of money deploying an AI system that can retroactively track these things and when that happens, for better or worse, hope you were not irresponsible and worked for a business with the technical acumen to trace you. It's not a matter of if it can be done, with today's tech. It's a matter of whether the business you worked for has the means and willpower to do it.

My advice is follow best practice and wait for an official company policy detailing the use of these new services. Otherwise you may find yourself in legal trouble years from now when the traces you left can easily be uncovered by technology that does not forget.
