I think you are overestimating just how many big companies use a thin client-like system. But I admit I might be underestimating it. Out of personal experience, I used to work for a pretty big global company and every employee got their own work laptop to use. And that was a company with 30.000+ employees worldwide. So maybe that is my bias in this, and I would think companies like that wouldn't so easily give up their digital sovereignty.

    Would you consider that laptop particularly robust? Was your rapid compute power critical to your role?

    In my very similar case, the answers were: No and No

    A lot of the work I did was subtly cloud-based. If the internet was slow, "local" tasks slowed significantly.
