I work for a MAANG in a related area at very large scale.
1. BYOD is a terrible idea. Work and home devices should be separate, even at the cost of multiple devices.
2. More than emails, they need push notifications and background wallpaper changes on the machine with specific instructions before doing anything terrible. Soft power configuration changes can do much more without potentially destroying value.
3. It's much easier to lock out users from their account with a message about mandatory remediation steps to regain access.
4. Issue newer machines on a lifecycle with an easy return program. When people get new machines, they'll almost always cough up the old ones. This solves the issue and maintains fleet health and reliability.
5. Consider replacing laptops with VDI and Chromebooks where possible.

You could have your own work device at home, separate from "personal use" items. The difference is that you can upgrade & reclaim hardware without having to bring it in to IT.
