I shouldn't be, but I am little surprised this is non-obvious to some/needs to be said.
It's one thing to occasionally log into personal email from a work machine, or listen to music from Spotify while working on your personal account, or whatever. I even sometimes keep Discord or other personal messaging apps open while I'm working.
But my company certainly wouldn't want me playing games or browsing anything NSFW on my work machine, and I wouldn't want them knowing what I do in my free time, nor would I want any personal projects I might work on to end up as something they might be able to claim ownership over because I used their device to make them (this is a not-uncommon clause in software engineer contracts).
We all make certain allowances for convenience, but there is and should be a line.
