I'm guessing there would be issues with security. If nothing else, the IT staff that specialize in security won't like rental PCs, and they have pretty significant sway within most enterprise environments. But then again, people are already renting servers in data centers anyways. A lot of enterprise PCs are just glorified clients for whatever servers and web app they have to access, which is why refurbished enterprise PCs are (were?) a great choice for buying relatively cheap PCs that have pretty good specs for their price tag and not too much wear in them since they were mostly used for Teams and Outlook.
Part of the economic proposition put forwards to execs will be "you won't have to pay your security salaries anymore" because it won't be your problem, it will be cloud compute's problem.
