> Hence why most companies forbid their employees to use windows with public internet access for work

I have literally never heard of a single company doing that.

Most companies that care about security will only offer a windows device with just a VPN/Intranet access
Name one other than Kukumber LLC.
Don't just trust me, a random internet user, check by yourself

Call your bank, and ask them if their employees PCs have access to the public internet

Same for your local hospital, call them

you said most, your bank with extreme regulatory compliance needs, is not most.
There is no point arguing further i guess, may god help us make our computers secure, i'll fire some candles tonight, amen
This is why people don't like "security people".

Apparently developer machines not being able to access the internet somehow makes users interacting with a website over the public internet insecure?

Security is important, but not the only concern.
