When I used to travel for work, I carried two laptops despite the hassle.
A decade ago, I watched a scientist at a conference plug his laptop in to the conference room, wake it up, sync to the Big Screen, load xvideos tab he had up, and then watched him flounder for a good 20 seconds to try to figure out how to close it and save face before loading a PowerPoint.
My manager did that but he had the porn side open on a different tab. He spent the entire presentation not noticing.
Was he at least watching something good?
I recall lesbians, so yes.
If BYOD was allowed I'd probably get a laptop with two M.2 drives and keep work and personal on separate OSs on separate drives, both encrypted so they can't access each other's files.
Best of both worlds.
I'd rather not wear out my hardware for work
Nope. If I have to wander around going to various work sites and getting the laptop rained on, baked by the sun, sprinkled with dust and grass cuttings, and generally getting kicked about it's going to be a work device not my own.
