Also for Android users the exact point of work profile is that the surveillance is limited to only the work profile portion of your phone.

You can imagine different tiers of security, where a work profile gives you minimal access to corp while a fully managed setup gives you more substantive access to corp resources and allows a company to enforce more security and visibility into the client device.

Yes, but at circa 2016 you cannot get higher tier of security on your personal device. You have to use a Google issued phone to get that.

On iPhones it just allows them to wipe your phone if it's lost.

That makes a lot of sense, and a legitimately personal decision. Some people don't want to share root access on the personal phone with their employer. Other people don't want to carry a separate phone for work.
My best guess is that it has something to do with the permissions you give Google if you add a work profile/account to your phone. But that isn't required.
