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.
