Realistically, company shouldn't enforce such integration in the first place, even if my distro did supporter it (I won't install RHEL on my home desktop, dude).
They justify it by "security", but beyond changing group policy to enforce constant password rotation and system update, haven't noticed anything that would really justify it. I guess the only real reason of this integration existing, is that they can lock me out of my own PC if they wanted to. And considering that I'm a freelancer, that can happen at any given moment.
Oh, I agree completely that it's bonkers to require this for your personal machine. Just pointing out for anyone else reading that it isn't limited to just Ubuntu
