When they say "workers' computers" do they mean company-owned machines issued to staff to do their jobs or personally-owned machines that people use for work?

If it's the first, as ugly as it is, it makes sense. Don't do anything on a work computer that you don't want your boss, their boss, and the corp IT/lawyers to know about.
If it's the second, that's wholly unacceptable and ridiculous. I refuse to install company-anything on personal devices with the exception of a push-app for MFA on my phone. Everything else, forget it.

Many employers either sent their employees a desktop or have asked them to use their work laptops, but I would guess the majority allow and encourage employees to use personal computers instead (of which they would require the spyware installation).
