I feel the same. Someone who isn't willing to investigate issues with their own work machine or spending some time configuring it is more likely than not to be less of a continuous learner (imo).

Looking at it short term a well paid developer troubleshooting all issues on their work laptop could be seen as a waste of resources but for me software development is a beautiful craft. I also wouldn't trust a carpenter who can't obsess over wood or tools. If I overhear two developers comparing notes on their tmux setup somewhere I mentally upgrade them into the interesting category right away.
