You guys get free work computers? I had to buy my own hardware for working remotely. Though that also means there's no crazy spyware on it or unnecessary bloat slowing it down. I might actually prefer this arrangement... Do the large companies usually let you do that at all?

same lol. if they give you a computer - use it for work! otherwise it is arguably your property and your right to do what you want regardless if they have google workspace etc. just create a separate account

If I need to sign a legal contract asserting that every desktop has bitlocker or the mac equivalent, there needs to be a level of remote management, and I'll be the first one telling people they can't force people to intune enroll personal desktops. So in a lot of cases there will be an argument against your arrangement.

In Australia - companies usually provide computers afaik, probably for legal reasons. The default law is if you make something on a work computer then your employer owns it.
