> Even when pointed out that the company can wipe it when they leave

If someone intends to leave, they can first revoke the company's access to their phone.

Not if it was set up with corporate deployment methods. Look into what Apple MDM is capable of on an iPhone, for instance.

If the company has the software installed to remote wipe a phone, they have the software to stop you from locking them out.

Yeah, this is exactly the opposite of reality. It is not "company's access to their phone", it is "company's control of their phone". I think you misunderstand what's being required of many people in exchange for access corporate information from their phone.
