What happens if the worker doesn’t have a smartphone, or has one, it breaks and they don’t have money to buy another for while, or what if they install a random app that encrypts their mailbox?
Even if you live in a 3rd world country where employers can force it, it’s a stupid decision for the business.
I don’t understand your line of questioning. If a bad thing happens then a bad thing happens. Potential for bad things indeed makes companies likely to lock down devices if they provide them, hence the qualifier “not all works would allow it.” From an employee perspective, if you have the freedom to do it then more secure OS is more secure.
Not all works would allow it, but why not Graphene on work phones.

I have a work phone.
If didn’t have a personal phone, it wouldn’t matter.
If it breaks, they have insurance to replace it immediately.
There’s no risk it will stop working because I didn’t pay the bill.
And I can’t install random crap because it’s locked down.
And they have options like remotely wipe the device, if they think something weird is happening.
From my side. The phone is turned off the microsecond I clock out.
I can tell you what we do. Here’s your yubikey. Then most find a new phone after a couple weeks.
