This is absolutely correct. Heck, you're free to deny that based on any reasoning, maybe the shoddy icon of the work app doesn't match your phone wallpaper.

The phone is your private property, if an employer requires an app to be installed to do your job, they can provide a phone.

I would also never let corporate IT manage a device, e. g. a laptop connected to my private network at home.

If you ever must, buy a new laptop. And use it on a guest wifi network. Use it as you would a work laptop, nothing personal on it

No, have the company buy a laptop, and if necessary, also have them buy the hardware that allows for proper network separation, if not already available.

Just another thing to be aware of.

Not all companies will do that
