From what I've seen this isn't "entitlement" - it can be that the employer is aware and OK with you treating their computer as your own (and you can always simply ask). Often such companies allow BYOD. Similarly people might not want two phones, or two cars - so this could be seen as a perk. The policy can be "just format it before you hand it back". I see this assumption that people are being sneaky by using company devices for private matters on HN quite frequently, but it really doesn't gel with my experience.
