There's a few other reasons to own your own place.
1) I kind of despise the housing market, but you do at least earn equity instead of throwing money away to a landlord.
2) If the company owns the place, your rent goes right back to your employer, making them an even stronger entity.
3) If you are at risk of losing your house by pissing off your boss, it means you'll usually adapt your behavior in a variety of ways dramatic and subtle to fit in.
4) Switching employers means you definitely need to move instead of just probably.
5) It's just a weird vibe when you live in a hive that isn't yours and is owned by the same entity that controls everything else in your life even if they were benevolent. They're daddy and you're baby, except they have little interest in you beyond pure self-interest.
