Advanced security technology does nothing against the old attacks of "look over the person's shoulder while working in bed" and "your work is really interesting and important, please tell me more".

I don't know, maybe you're right. I, personally, am very uncomfortable (almost physically) if I know that someone is seeing my screen and I wouldn't be able to get any work done in such state. Maybe I'm just weird.
> "your work is really interesting and important, please tell me more"
This one is unrelated to physically being inside someone's house.

It requires intimacy, and Huang is not in the age/wealth bracket for long distance relationship.

Actually non-advanced security technology can prevent that by locking the system / user entirely if they're using their work laptop or accessing company data like... emails while not in a secure location, e.g. the office.
Corporate security is a strong reason for leaving your work at work.

Never met a tech executive who left work at work. Also never met an IT security team who had the juice to tell the CEO what he could and couldn't do on his corporate phone...

I suspect this team will have a little bit of leverage now.

Hardware keyloggers, microphones, spycams, etc.
The precautions you describe does not shield against any of those, and I'm not even being creative.

You're right, haven't thought about those.

in that case the rootcause is letting other people into your house, not cheating

All of it together. He compromised the company by having an affair with a Chinese spy. The cheating is relevant.
Not sure, if I follow. Are you saying that he has confidential papers just lying around his house? Or a computer (or other device) with confidential data without a strong password and an encrypted drive?
If any of this is true, I would say that this is actually a bigger problem, than the whole affair thing.
I'm just a humble software engineer and wouldn't let myself to handle any work related data so carelessly. Not sure, why a CEO of a huge multinational corporation would be held to lower standards.
