I think it just boils down to people getting a lazy.

I don't know about other people, but I don't keep anything on my laptop.
I simply access the company's network from outside (wherever I may be)
and have access to anything I need.
Why download anything to a laptop if this access is possible? If I am
on the security list of my company to have certain things, then I get
in. If not, then I don't. Is this such a complicated concept?
