i think it's about drawing a line between your "personal computer" and a software development machine. any digital-native is going to accumulate programs, configurations, and other bits and pieces that aren't trivial to migrate to a new machine.
Programs, configs and "other bits" are the trivial parts that no one should care about. It takes about 5min to go from fresh install to near-fully-configured.
Even the hardware itself doesn't matter that much, in the end it's all provided by your employer.
Leaking session tokens or secrets, on the other hand...

imo being digital native means that migrating to any machine should be basically trivial. working with the flow of the machines rather than customizing and ricing them because your a cool computer person or whatever
i just want my computer to work. any config i have on my machine can be rebuilt by just doing the work i need to do.
my primary work machine was stolen last year so i was forced to go through this quite literally with a new machine rather than hypothetically or by my own will
