I think the idea is that everyone still comes to work every day, but some people may want to start earlier and others later. On most days you'll still be in the office for 6 hours or whatever, but you have the flexibility to take a morning off for personal or whatever reasons without having to clear it with everyone.

Right and I think that's an unfortunate way to approach the problem. "Everyone still comes to work every day" is really not that beneficial in the long run. "Everyone shares some core hours" definitely makes sense. If you spend 30 minutes commuting, that consumes an entire hour of time, arbitrarily splits two other potentially productive 2-hour blocks in half, and risks afflicting your emotional state with fear and anger that affect your work and interactions with others. If you make it 3 4-hour days rather than 5 2-hour days that means people have days where they can live their life free of a stressful commute altogether, and that is a huge win.
