Not all jobs are programming.

We’re still primarily a service and manufacture economy aren’t we?
Hell even a lot of knowledge work can’t happen from home. I doubt microbiology research can be done from home. At some point you’re gonna need new data and experiments to analyze

The biggest obstacle to this is regulation making it illegal for hairdressers to work out of their home, not the logistics of hairdressing.
