These people really don’t know how MDM solutions work.

... actually they aren't wrong. MDMs are given special permissions including but not limited to reading your SMSes and phone records, restricting and monitoring your installed apps and even wiping your device.

Please cite any one of your sources. I've managed MDM for over a decade and you're spreading misinformation.

Absolutely none of the MDM products on the market allow for the reading of personal e-mail, SMS, phone records, etc. On the contrary, almost every single one provides an information screen during the enrollment that makes it abundantly clear that they do not (and can not) access that data. Moreover, the "wipe" of data is the removal of company data. It doesn't wipe your phone, it just removes the work profile (Android) or deprovisions the work profile and associated apps (Apple). All of your non-work-related data is untouched.

So you're not aware of Sophos's MDM offering? That explicitly states they can make copies of all SMS messages?

How about call logs, with SureMDM?

Also I said nothing about personal emails.

No, the 'wipe' can be a full factory reset.
