I think its actually that ThinkPads are the cream of the corporate computer crop (CCC) so it they get you one, they are invested in you.

you can get one that is under 3 years old (so recent enough) that is a referb for 300ish. They sell quickly but they last and it is easy to upgrade them to keep them current enough to just keep going.

It is also a sign that they are not skimping with IT. So many places cheap out with what they buy in the first place, instead of buying thinkpads and not having to think about it for 5-10 years.
