Its less about personal information and more that I'm never comfortable with constant observation, regardless of what I'm doing. I could be buying a bagel and feel uncomfortable with a camera or police officer. Additionally, my work requires the ability to pivot quick with software and requires root access, hardware control, etc. I've regularly worked with coworkers in other areas of the company who spend a week setting up a workaround to the managed machine. My colleagues and I all run personalized linux configurations and a typical managed machine would greatly hamper that. The company is large enough that the IT dept would not have time to manage all our exceptions so they just let us be.
