WRT my current employer, the Macbook Pro laptops are registered directly with Apple. They are out of order if you are not anymore employed. I noticed it when trying to reformat the disk and reinstall MacOS using the install image downloaded from Apple. During installation, the MacOS installer said this laptop was registered by [company name] and to continue the installation, I had to login using the corporate SSO. So, I guess that MacOS laptops are useless once you quit the company ?
