I'd go further and say that employers are also motivated to keep corporate hardware and personal hardware separate for security reasons. Allowing personal devices direct access to corporate ones is yet another attack surface. Separation of work and personal devices is a good policy for both employees and employer.

True. Nobody would log into their work through their own, non-corporate-issued WiFi router, after all.

Right?

Well, yes and no. Most of my past employers only allowed VPN access for remote work, so the networks are in fact different. And I have had an employer that actually issued employees "SOHO" routers (routers always logged into the organization's VPN) to use with the company equipment at home. I never got one but they would issue you one if you asked. My point is that generally both employers and employers have good reasons to want separation here.
