Advanced security technology does nothing against the old attacks of "look over the person's shoulder while working in bed" and "your work is really interesting and important, please tell me more".

I don't know, maybe you're right. I, personally, am very uncomfortable (almost physically) if I know that someone is seeing my screen and I wouldn't be able to get any work done in such state. Maybe I'm just weird.

This one is unrelated to physically being inside someone's house.

Actually non-advanced security technology can prevent that by locking the system / user entirely if they're using their work laptop or accessing company data like... emails while not in a secure location, e.g. the office.

Corporate security is a strong reason for leaving your work at work.
