A lot of the comments in this thread are a bit self-defensive and unempathetic to the problems described in this post.
This post, and many unrelated others in general, are talking about their own experiences. They don't seek to deny other people's experiences; and being slightly too general in their wording so that there might be an implication that their experiences apply to everyone, is a mistake that everyone makes and is an intrinsic part of natural everyday language. Pointing this out, and seeing others point it out, gets really tedious after a while, not to say uneducational and uninformative.
Personally, I've definitely been through a similar thing that this article describes. Remote work is indeed very draining indeed for the reasons described. If you have some ways to make it work for you, just say and state them, there is no need to say "the article is wrong / too general, actually it's only true when specific circumstances [X, Y and Z] apply that didn't apply to me", this adds nothing to the discussion and makes it sound like you're denying other people's experiences.
