It's extremely difficult to bill things like fractional electricity and internet usage.

I'm really surprised that a company like Amazon can't figure this out.

I work for a stupendously technologically backward company, and even it covers WFH internet costs up to $80/month.

This just seems like laziness of the management, and not any actual problem.

It’s extremely easy. It’s possible to meter internet usage by a machine and also meter electricity consumption through an outlet. I imagine no one wants to go through the trouble of paying it.
