Sounds like a great reason for Corp IT to not allow anything too important to go on mobile devices.

(Which is already how Corp IT in most well-ran firms operates, not because they are afraid of compromised border assets, but because they are afraid of a million other, mundane reasons for why corp access on a phone can turn into a security and compliance problem.)

Direct corp net access from the phone isn't generally the risk here - typical BigTech corp employees carry a 2fac generator on their work phone, and that is supposed to secure access to both the corp net and the 3rd party password manager in which the corp net passwords are stored
