Working in a separate place than your home is a recent concept - humanity has worked from home far longer than in offices or workplaces. Consider farming, or craftspeople working their trade, as well as nomadic cultures.

In what way is WFH 'unnatural'?

because IRL you're avoiding contact with the wider world.

Define contact. I talk to my coworkers regularly, I am able to visit and support my local community businesses where I live (rather than a large, faceless city), I am able to socialize with my local community as well.

I would avoid extrapolating your own WFH experience to others.

able to, but not forced to.
