I disagree, corporate systems will try to be transparent about being a corporate device. And they will not particularly be avoidant of software licensing, they may refuse to use the software, but they'd rather have that than use unlicensed software.
It seems like this makes things easier for everyone?

The post doesn't say what you should do with this information. You could just remind the user that they're supposed to buy a license for commercial use.
