Shouldn't that exactly be appealing to the talent, not having to worry about the company claiming their side projects as their own?
I very often work on my side projects and it is quite an annoyance having to move around with 2 laptops or paranoidly erasing my personal work from company computer.
Also from my experience working at a fang like company they definitely don't seem to lick every penny. We have company laptops because of security reasons, but phones are bring your own which they pay for. Also they pay for WFH office equipment as long as you can reason it makes you more productive or is good for your health. Basically anything that makes you more productive or sustainable they will pay for.
