Then they should also avoid rooted Windows machines where malware is a legitimate risk and orders of magnitude more prevalent than on mobile. Doing one but not the other is arbitrary and just pushes people towards having a locked-down device that they don't fully control with them all the time (can't uninstall tracking software from the vendor, for example). A locked-down computer that just sits in your office all day would be less worrisome

If they could enforce locked down desktops, I’m sure they would.
They could have just chosen to not offer the service, but apparently that's okay
