The setting isn't even visible to everyone. If you're currently in an org that manages copilot business, it's gone. I imagine it instantly opts you back in when you leave an org.

My work was careful to explain: if you associate your personal GitHub account with their work org copilot, then they are the ones who manage copilot.

If you wouldn't use your personal email account on your work computer, I don't see why you wouldn't create a new GitHub account only for work.

There have been instances where GitHub has banned users for using an email address from a custom domain. If your account is associated with an enterprise plan the chances of that happening decrease significantly. Also puts you in much better position for recourse
