That's a geography error on your part. Humans in the EU have an expectation of privacy even on work-issued devices.

I also work in the EU and privacy on company's machine is a more complex topic that's case by case dependent.
The employer can't enter your machine to look at your personal info just because they feel like it, but they can access it for work related reasons to access work related info, if they have just cause.
Claiming the employer in the EU has no right to access your machine is plain false. It's the company's machine, on the company's network, inside the company's premises, it can definitely access it for a business use case. Now if you happen to put your private info there because you're sloppy, then it's on you. How hard is it to avoid putting personal info on company property?
