I use a Linux desktop for work. My employer is constantly threatening to replace it with a mac "so they can control it". Their main control point is microsoft defender. I would rather have defender on my work machine than be forced to use a mac.

see for work it makes sense because you hopefully don't do personal stuff on that computer, there's no hope of privacy on a work computer.
