In an ideal world, I fully agree with this.
In the short-term, get shit done world, sometimes things are messier and the edges are rougher and you need to allow for some of that.
My 3 month rule is good enough to evaluate, try it out, play with some ideas, get some feedback, and then scale or kill. If you kill it, expense it and you're done. If you scale it (aka operationalize it), move it to the corp account.
At Twilio, I saw this from both sides.. both as a purchaser and as an evangelist getting people to use our API.

But even in reality I would be worried about a management team that doesn't pay attention to control of a company's technical infrastructure. Having business expenses fall neatly under one bank account is not a complicated responsibility and doesn't get in the way of a "get shit done" attitude.
