I don't really see how it's less secure to login to my Microsoft account from my own laptop at home than it would be to login to the same account from my work laptop at home.

If yo can't see that, then they really shouldn't allow you to do it, no matter how trusted an individual you are, because if you can't see how it is less secure, you are unlikely to be taking sufficient steps to mitigate it.

These aren’t big companies with IT departments, I don’t think we’ve even used VPNs in places I’ve worked previously.
