I think this hurts them, personally - as people who have been issued a garbage laptop come away thinking Dells are heavy and have terrible battery.
I promise there are good Dell laptops. Your job obviously hasn’t given you one.

I doubt when businesses are buying fleet laptops they go for the good ones.
The HP I had made sense for the department I was in. It had a built in privacy screen you could toggle with the fn keys

It depends on the business. At the sorts of places I work, $3k for a reliable laptop is well worth it. The business loses more money in lost productivity by having its employees unable to work than saving a little money in the short-term.
