It's a huge security issue to not be able to change shit. That means other people know your direct login credentials, and thus could be doing shit on other people's accounts. The fact that shit is pregen also means that it won't be memorable to the employee an likely require them to write it down. I'm not convinced you've had work issue hardware before. The issues there are self-evident. Doors locking remotely is begging to get #metoo'd.
