As someone who has worked for themselves for more than 10 years and can easily work from home but chooses not to (in normal times) I will tell you that working from home isn’t sustainable in the long run for many many people.

Leaving your house is good for you.

It also takes the responsibility off of a company to provide a good working environment and puts it on an individual. Companies want to pay less for remote workers yet workers are not responsible for paying for the extra square footage they will need in their homes to work.
