for me it is the other way around:

private: Play & mess around. Gathering knowledge/expertise. Modifying/experimenting on a production machine is just not possible.

company/business: Use the knowledge to source (or modify it into) a reliable solution. After all, you are paid to produce good outcomes/results.
