It would, but installing random vpn software on IT controlled hardware is a very much against policy

I also have to remember to turn the VPN on before I connect to the wifi, but only some wifis

Sure they are minor inconveniences, but configuring a device once and being confident I haven’t skipped a step or made a mistake and my network connection is secure - that’s a big deal for me.

And not just "against policy but unenforced and whatever" - for most large orgs I've been with, it's a serious, "conditions of employment" issue. There ARE innocent usages of personal VPN on work computer, but the risk and impact of the nefarious ones massively outweighs them.
