While I mostly agree with you, one of the health institutions in Germany that I know of(and probably plenty others), only had laptops and VPN's available for middle and upper management. So while upper and middle management got to WFH, older folks and plenty of people with preexisting heart and lung conditions got to work in cramped 3-5 people offices.

I agree that a lot of people can't afford a full size home office. Nonetheless most of them will probably also only have a small cubicle or less at work.

My statement doesn't negate what you said, but do keep this perspective in mind also.

Absolutely this. If a company wants people to come into the office but does not have enough space for them they should be forced to allow those employees to work remotely or pay for adequate space. They can't have both.
