I agree that that's how it should be, by default. See that other comment about mental context switches.
Companies could provide specialized laptops for work.
It would help with privacy, focus and sensitive data being overseen by kids/spouses/guests, until you can assure your employer that you can take care of that on your own.

Even if you were to have an extra room for work, what if you want a child? Losing tax benefits is an extra cost you have to burden. It's expensive to be poor, as always.
