That’s a good rule of thumb, but as a direct point of comparison, it’s not that bad with iPhones. Apple’s MDM protocol is very particular about what admins are allowed to control even on company-owned devices. For example, admins can’t see the Apple ID used on the phone and can’t grant apps screen sharing permission without user approval.
Android is the same way with MDM managed profiles. Nothing in the personal profile can be seen by MDM. It goes as far as making you install apps twice, if you use them in both profiles. Even the clipboard can’t be used to copy from one profile to the other, and screenshotting the MDM profile is typically disabled.
Nothing about this is news to people who actually manage and use MDM, or unique to Android.
What MDM is your company using? My work iPhone is provisioned with Intune MDM software and does not allow copy/paste between work apps and non-work apps.
Then it all depends on exactly how you have those apps installed whether you’re installed them under the exact same profiler if they were actually installed by the two different profiles.

And we certainly can’t access iMessage.

I’m pretty sure I have MDM on my device and I can definitely copy and paste from work apps to non work apps and vise versa.

This is a decision your MDM admin makes, at most of my jobs this has been disallowed.
well as long as it’s not my employer that can see it, and it’s just the government, I guess it’s okay
