Back before COVID, we were performing in-person interviews, and one of the steps was a debugging problem. We always told people in advance that they can either bring their own laptop configured the way they like (we gave details about languages/libraries required), or they can use one we provide.

I was surprised to see how many people would prefer our laptop during interview instead of having their own favorite environment.

I would be interested why that is, have you asked?

I would 100% pick the company laptop. I don't like installing random crap on my own machines, which there'd be no non-awkward way to avoid otherwise.
