Maybe the standard work environment has been wrong and should be changed and WFH is the way to do it.

That's fine - but that's not what I was talking about. I'm specifically saying if you work for Google - you can afford to live closer than a 1 hour commute. (And you can even take the god damn free shuttle where you clock in for the trip even)

You could also afford to set fire to a stack of $100 bills. That does not mean you find it a sensible thing to do.

You could also afford a straw man. Does not mean you find it sensible thing to say.

I'm blessed. But the idea of civilizational progress is to get everyone at that level, as a baseline.
