The problem is there are people for which a commute actually isn't this hellscape that drives them to the brink of madness. For example, I've noticed that the commute to and from work provided a nice break to get into work mode or to decompress out of work mode.

On my drive in, I can think about the things I need to get done during the day, maybe think about how to solve a tough problem. I can organize my tasks, think about what to do first, etc.

And many times on my commute home, listening to music allows me to put the work out of my mind, so when I get home I can fully detach. Obviously, it doesn't work this way all of the time, but without this barrier while wfh it feels like I'm in work mode even if I'm not doing work any more.

There is really no one size fits all for everyone, and it sounds like the vast majority of people don't want wfh. And for those that do, I think it's a good idea to try and see if more wfh options can be made available for people.

If you really felt like that, you could take a two hour walk or even a two hour drive every day for the same effect.

Flexibility is always good.
