Jelly1's comment adds even less. If your observation about correlations is true, can we assume that Belgium and Albania have even higher ratios of employees that work from home?
Belgium = 6.6%. Given that Belgium and the Netherlands are neighbors, with a majority Flemish population, this means simple size isn't the primary factor. (Albania isn't even listed.)
Switzerland is only slightly larger than the European part of the Netherlands, and yet it has a rate of 4.1%.
Population density might be a factor, but simple density isn't enough, as Finland's rate is 13.3% while the US has a density about twice that of Finland.
Since size isn't a clear factor, and density isn't a clear factor, I could not makes sense of Jelly1's comment. It did not come across as an informed jab but a factually incorrect statement, which I tried to highlight, without a verbose analysis like this one.
