The IT department where I work won’t support or allow Macs or Linux machines for the simple reason that they can’t control them. This is one of those paranoid locked-down shops where they bind everyone up so tight they need a tech to turn the page as they’re reading.

Same here, but our network security is dictated by the FDIC.

The other issue involved is that using Macs locks you into a sole source hardware vendor.

And that is different from a sole source "operating system" vendor how?
