I worry about employers deploying spyware.

If you are using their equipment, it is not spyware and you should expect to be under surveillance when using it.

If you are allowing them to install shit on your devices, the fault is all yours.

Once again, you’re making incorrect assumptions. My concern is employers using the spyware we’re talking about without consent on devices they don’t control. Take a minute to think through before responding. Why would I be worried about either of the two things you mentioned?
