I think it must depend on what kind of work people do. I really have no idea what non-engineering jobs are like, but I feel like they probably require less screen real-estate and text entry, and so don't demand the same ergonomics that writing software (or doing CAD modeling, etc.) requires. I can tell you that I personally hate being away from my desktop. I like the feeling of the office chair, I like my ergonomic keyboard, I like having a ton of monitors to organize my triple-wide Emacs window, some terminals, some browsers for documentation, Slack, Discord, a music player, etc. But... other people probably don't do as much I/O with their computer, and can probably lay in bed and get stuff done. When I worked at Google I always saw people sitting on bouncy balls typing away on their laptops, and I guess they got stuff done doing that, so I just chalk it up as "I don't personally understand it". I like my desk, but I see no reason to require people to sit at desks all day if they'd prefer to be in bed. If it doesn't work for them, they'll probably stop doing it.
