I strongly agree. I go one level further. As an independent consultant, I have multiple clients (usually around 3-4 at any given time). I use a different laptop and mobile device for every client. I would take to them to client site -- when travel was a thing. I also use different VPCs on the cloud for each of them. And I have a different set of machines for my own business. This allows clients to specify whatever software policy they like on machines that connect to their network, wit out affecting anything else I do. I wipe the hard disks of the the relevant machines clean after end of the engagement. None of my clients has demanded that I install any 'bossware', primarily because I'm only paid on outcomes, not effort. So they don't really care how I do the work.
