One of the companies I worked for (a non-profit), the product I was working on was 100% open source and 100% running on Linux, but they still forced me to used a company-supplied Apple Macbook instead of letting me use my personal computer which would have cost them nothing.

In the 2 other companies, I started work with my personal Linux computer but they forced me to switch to a company-supplied Macbook later. It's not about costs.

Every company I've worked for in recent years has blocked people using their personal computers for work, for compliance reasons. Unless you could prove that the personal devices are under the same compliance regime you'd fail any audit.

Even non-profits often have to abide by the same compliance requirements, often insisted on by their funders.

Issuing a standard computer with a standard managed configuration just removes a ton of headaches for IT.
