OP here: Keeps me corporate-friendly, mostly. Half my life is lived in the terminal and the other half is lived in the Microsoft Office suite, and the second half is what really pays the bills for now. C'est la vie.
b) To get banned for running the games in a Windows VM
Work is a Microsoft place, but honestly the web version of Outlook works great under Linux. Teams is usable. (My Linux friends complain that it sucks, but what they don't know is that it also sucks on Windows!)
