This is a brown M&M type thing for me nowadays. If I can't use MacOS, I don't trust the company's finances or IT. A in the 2000's I used to do the same thing by asking for two displays. If they said no that was pretty much it. Arguments ranged from "we want everyone to use the same setup" to "too expensive". My pay every month would've been multiple times the price of a monitor and at least 2-3 times the price of a MacBook nowadays. If your budget can't handle that, it's a huge red flag for me. And there's always the time when I, a decently expensive external contractor, had to use some bargain-bin laptop with 2GB of memory. And I had to run at least two instances of NetBeans, a local Oracle installation and Adobe Flex at the same time. I lost so much time just waiting for that thing to work it cost them more than a proper computer would've =)
