Oh, absolutely, know your threat model.
But top of the line security anywhere is not "meh, install whatever you want on the company laptop". And any company handing private communication and responsible for making social network decisions does need fairly good security to protect against compromised employees and compromised company hardware. That looks like solid policies for installing software, centralized management of hardware, and written policies that are well thought out, audited, and followed.
Finance, medicine, defense, ecommerce, etc. all have industry or government regulations for these kinds of security polices and compliance, it seems like social media companies are the wild west and clear signs of problems and abuse have come up repeatedly.
No, they probably don't need to go through your bags with random checks to see if you're exfiltrating classified materials or warn you about wearing your company badge visibly when you go out to lunch to avoid spies.
