Because a lot of people are forced to use Windows 10 and for whatever reason cannot use a Linux distro even with Looking Glass?

Are we talking about ‘at work’ scenario? Which is probably fine, because that’s a business decision.

It would be prudent not to use company equipment for anything personal anyway.

I would rather use Red Star OS, at least that's based on Linux

We are talking both in-person enterprise, remote working, and even hobbies. Lots of music production hardware won't work in Linux as there aren't the drivers.

For hobbies and even general PC hardware, there are definitely companies out there that are hostile towards Linux. When possible, vote with your money towards better alternatives.

As for remoting, rdp-ing from linux is a solved issue, as long as VPN is not too esoteric… at which point driver compatibility is not an issue anymore. That’s Looking Glass scenario for me :)

Not disagreeing, but sometimes there is quite literally no alternative, especially in the CAM space.
