on the positive side, it's a small thing monetarily, but retention of company laptops is a nice goodwill gesture

Eh, from the company's perspective this is logistically easiest--the laptop's value is hardly worth the effort.

a lot of companies ask for equipment to be returned due to security concerns, or just on principle

klarna allowed us to buy our work phone and macbook paying only the tax value. We had to give them the devices so they would be wiped out by a third party, then they mailed them to my home.

MacBooks and iPhones are amongst the easiest to wipe remotely.

You can wipe them fully (which would be the recommendation for MacBooks) and remove just work-installed apps on an iPhone.

Absolutely. I was in charge of that at a previous job, and telling Jamf to nuke the device did the job the next time it was turned on.
