I have a desktop at work that belongs to the company, but I used my personal laptop since not so long ago. Most other employers uses their personal devices. I just opted for a desktop for a question of practicality, not having to carry around a laptop and connect it every day. I of course still use my laptop or a home desktop if I work from home.
If you have a good relationship with your boss you can do that, in the company we all manage our own devices, meaning that the operating system and stuff is decided and installed by whoever uses the computer (Linux, Windows, macOS, whatever you are more practical, that is also an advantage since we ensure you can develop a project on all platforms). Also we have basically have all admin access on everything personal and everything that is shared (shared computers in the office, network equipment, servers, etc).
I could not see working on a place where I have to pay attention on what I do on a particular device if not they will punish me. To me it doesn't really make sense, the computer that I'm using is mine till I use it, of course if I change job that computer will be formatted and used by another person.
There is this concept but to me it only slows down work. If I have to do something personal related on the desktop at work I do it on the desktop, similarly if I'm at home and I have to do a fix on a production system I do that on my personal laptop, or I answer a Teams call from a coworker from my mobile phone.
