Maybe for some, but it has certainly benefited me more than my employer because I value my time.

I guess I should have qualified that with "financially."

I also value my time, so I am not inclined to push for such a law in my state.

Not just time, but cost also. As my wife also works from home we've been able to scale back to a single car for 2 years now. Since owning, insuring, fueling, repairing, and maintaining a car typically runs $6k-$10k/year (depending on your tastes and mileage) I've gotten a substantial financial benefit from being remote.
