Security is definitely a legitimate argument for some companies. The average home network is nowhere near as secure as an enterprise network and BYOD is not nearly as secure as the systems setup and managed by your organization.
Edit: Everyone saying “use a VPN that’s how you secure your home” needs to do more research. I have a comment below explaining how just using a VPN doesn’t make you safe.
I doubt it. The home network does not need to be secure. That is why you have VPNs and other such technology.
It’s also about physical security, protecting access to your work laptop and protecting IP. That VPN is completely useless if someone can get into your home and access your device. It’s way easier to get into someone’s home than into a properly secured office.
That’s also why you encrypt your drives. The average enterprise figured out how to let somebody work from an airport long ago. It’s really not a huge deal.
If you use vdi that runs on a corporate thin client security is basically a non-issue. Data never leaves the data center and so long as you harden the thin client it should be difficult to breach it.

Having implemented this sort of stuff for the mind if companies you probably think of when you’re thinking of enterprise… You’re making a mountain out of a molehill.
The use of a VPN to secure data in transit and the use of strong encryption on the device, endpoint protection and management features, along with good password security make it easy for any organisation not dealing with literal SECRET or TOP SECRET information to enable remote with.
