Institutions with "managed desktops" usually only let the user run a 
pre-defined set of apps.  And without a newsreader installed, it's 
less easy to wind up embarrassed by having the newspapers find out 
that an employee has been downloading from 
alt.binaries.i.love.little.boys.

Of course, Thunderbird has a built-in newsreader, so that's easily 
worked around.
