I completely agree on that, if you look back to my posts ;-)

What I take issue with is the other part of your assumption:

And further to that - the risk is kept small by applying general common sense with regards to what links are clicked on, what websites are visited, etc.
The risk is not really small. It is, indeed, quite significant. It may be subjectively acceptable to you, but for sure it would not be for any large organization employing you.

I.E. you would never be allowed anywhere near a network whose security policies I write
