I don't think the reply is about BYOD... There is speculation about IMSI catchers being used to target personal cell phones without any BYOD app installed.
Didn't a whistleblower at a car company suggest this...
And if such a a company had that technology then we can only speculate its use is more widespread than imagined.
Maybe this is the only reason remote jobs are not available at these companies... Nothing to do with being onsite just more of a precaution to vet employees before even allowing them to be remote.
So if a company could capture your personal text messages and personal cell phone calls while within an office campus (and no BYOD app installed)... would they use that knowledge to prevent poaching as well?

Be careful.
