No I'm not trolling. And I also don't agree with you when having software developers in mind. It's more a cultural thing (does the company wants to control everything or not?). Just one famous example: Google. You can be big and enforce and live a start up culture. I never heard from Google web developers that their Chrome is controlled by corporate policies.
There is also a term called BYOD (Bring your own Device) or BYOT (Bring your own Technology) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bring_your_own_device with all its advantages and disadvantages and many even not so hip / old companies live and work that way.
