What does this have to do with work device management? Are you seriously suggesting using a personal device for work, despite the asset leakage risk, and relying on "it doesn't matter" as recourse if that risk were to materialize?

Those are unrelated claims. The fact that "it doesn't matter" for a company (which you called me delusional on, yet don't support it in any way) and the fact that there are companies with more lax personal-device policy.

So nope: I am saying that not all companies have the same policies, nor the same risks, and that this is a legal liability that totally depends on the terms of engagement.
