A work managed mac without a sort of helpdesk that can help you fix an update issue of approved software is equally unserious.
I have never had sudo on a work managed device, but always had a phone number to call for exactly these types of issues. Explain the problem, point them to the fix. They look it up internally, call me back half an hour later, take over the machine and perform the procedure.
Is it frictionless? No. Is it impossible? No, just part of dealing with corporate IT.
Imagine I am the corporate IT here. I don’t even need docker desktop! I’m switching to something else. This is now a huge unnecessary pain that still has yet to be explained.
