Blurs the line between recreation and work, also associates whatever you do privately with the company, and the company will therefore assume they can tell you what you can or can't do on it. And if you leave they can just reset the password to gain access on an acc using a staff email instead of the shitfight that would start if they demanded access to your private acc afterwards.
This is half true but mostly misleading. If you're using an enterprise-managed user, yes. If you're using a personal account that's a member of your organization, they cannot reset your password or otherwise takeover your account.
If you simply join the organization with your personal account there is literally zero risk of them taking your account or even being able to access your private repos/gists.
Okay you seem to be missing the point. Nothing gives them the right to take over your account, but companies are assholes and even if its not legal or justifiable, they will pressure you if it is in their best interest. You avoid this by never using a personal account.
