Take into account that they prohibit Windows Home specifically. In my company I am dealing with buying laptops for new hires - there is no way I am buying laptop with Windows Home edition. That is problem with explaining people that they should buy laptop with Windows Professional. Whatever the cost is - company is paying. New hires are shy to expense company THAT is the problem. So I think problem is that people try to buy cheapest laptop they can to "be cheap". If my company would be on scale of GitLab I probably would not be able to control that but I am specifically buying laptops via my manager - and there is no way we would buy Windows Home laptop.
