Hi gurdev,
As Rudi already mentioned for mobile device with iOS/iPadOS/Android you can use mobile app protection policies without enrollment.
For windows you can use wip (windows information protection) to separate personal data from corporate data and personal data and a minimum protection.
You can use azure information protection to protect your data and it is also possible to combine it with wip.
For macOS is it not possible to use app protection policies. I know you’ve asked to protect the desktop apps but I want to make you aware of another solution what you can use.
You can also use the online version of office and microsoft defender for Cloud apps to protect for example copy/paste/print.
