> Interesting. What makes work provided computers better suited for coding?

They already have working software development environments. It's a process that can be time-consuming and is done once in a blue moon (basically when you need to reimage the machine). In the meantime, all changes to your software dev environment are gradual, and your work-provided computer ends up being configured like a software development pet instead of cattle.

Moreso if your company adopted/enforces internal development tools.

Ask yourself this: how many times have you went through a complete OS reinstall and subsequently had to setup a working software dev environment? Is this something you have automated? Most people do not.
