Somebody posted earlier about Japan. If the “phone check” is also done in Japan, maybe that explains why people have two?

That would be very rude here.

@avicebenner

the aesthetic as well as the functional aspect is important so one of them is supposed to be very sleek and small and minimal for work and the other one is a regular smartphone like most people have in the US.

Separate billing or more likely the second phone outright belongs to the company who gets a fleet of them from the carrier.
