But why not then demand that your employer cover your [reasonable] commuting costs, and even pay you for [reasonable] time spent commuting? That would greatly exceed your WFH costs, no doubt.

It's trivial to add demands like this. Employers have more pull in the legislatures than employees, so be careful what you wish for.

I think California already requires employers to do that.

What I find surprising is that everybody thinks employers are going to jump all over these requirements and work their hardest to make sure they are 100% in compliance instead of mostly ignoring them and making only a token effort to be in compliance. "We offered to buy chairs for the workers, what more do you want?"

California certainly does not require employers to cover commute costs.
