I'd argue that a large majority of people who have "work from home" computer jobs either already have a computer that they can use for work, or their employer does. Or it can be purchased from already existing inventory (used or new). Also, a computer purchase for an employee isn't usually a frequent occurrence. Maybe once during hire, and once a year to stay up to date (if that). Computer manufacturers can probably take a break for a couple of months and the tech industry will survive.
