All extremely good reasons to need the MFA.
Howerver it is on the company to provide the hardware. My phone is my phone. They didn't buy it, they don't pay for it, they don't get any say in what gets installed. I don't have to pay for my company provided computer either, so I don't care what they need me to install on that.
And that's completely fair. As I said above, the end result will almost certainly be a company provided phone with company provided apps. I've seen (and had) both solutions. It all comes down to how you view the risks. If you see running a Microsoft app on your personal phone as too great a risk to your privacy, then go for the two phone option. Personally, I don't see that as a high risk and think it's kinda silly.
