This demonstrates the most important difference between In-Office fans and remoters: They ALWAYS have the best possible situations thinkable, far and away better than any average or median.

A 30 minute walking commute is INSANELY rare, as is a quiet section, as even is a office cafe. I'd be far less pissed about forced in-office work if I had any of those things.

It's not insanely rare, but it probably depends on the country. I've moved multiple times and worked in different countries; a 30 minute walk to the office has been quite common for me (or up to 20 minute bike).

A 25-minute commute is common, at least in the EU: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/-/d... (I expect many of them commute by public transport, which can be a bit less enjoyable)
