Well, at companies that actually care about 100% rollout of "corporate, invasive crapware" on computers that _they own_ and that are used to process _company data_ and access _company resources_, the alternative is usually just to ban Linux workstations altogether.

This is patently false. The Securities and Exchange Commission accredits and oversees all national SROs.
