I feel like I've been transported to an alternate reality where people argue home gyms are better than real gyms and working from home is without consequence.

This reality seems heavily biased by people with long commutes.

It isn't just the commutes - I've had a number of good commutes that I enjoy, particularly bicycle commutes.

Unfortunately most companies that I have worked with (or might work with) seem to have adopted productivity-killing open plan offices, which are absolutely terrible.

Even when I spend 8 hours in a horrible open plan office, I end up doing most of my actual work at home. The office hours are simply to keep supervisors happy, to attend mandatory (often unnecessary) meetings, and to remain visible.
