> But if you want to utilize the pro to her/his full ability... Why would you for the sake of "security" rob an IT pro of the freedom to choose the tools she/he wants?
An "IT pro" should know about general risk management in IT departments or reasons why you don't give everyone full admin rights or every software they demand or everyone a machine with totally different specs from the other ones (read as: their favorite one). It becomes an unmanageable chaos at some point, too.
Who will be responsible if anything bad happens? Do you even want to be that one? (Note: bad can really be anything on a scale from 0 to hell and beyond in IT)

I don't know, why would you want to give a specialist different tools from people who do a different job? Why would you let a carpenter handle a power drill, or let your electrician access the fuse box?
Small confession: I'm currently working from home, Win10 laptop runs out of juice, I forgot the charger. Managed to set up a reverse SSH tunnel from our company cluster to my home server, proceed to work via SSH and SSHFS but now on my personal Arch Linux laptop. Loving it, feeling a bit unethical though.
