I think there’s something to be said for the fixed “work” environment having an impact on your thinking and productivity. At work = work mode, at home = home m

  It's more important for some people than for others. I will say when I used to just sometimes work from home, it was more important for me to do the usual morning routine, dress up in my usual business casual, and sit down in my office. The last 10 years or so, when I've been increasingly working remote--and have been effectively full-time even within fairly easy commute of an office--I don't bother and will work anywhere in the house I want.

  Which is why many successful remote workers have a dedicated "space" for work to help force the mental switch between modes, even if it just a dedicated "office" room in their home or a regular coffee shop they only use for work or options like that. You can have a "fixed" work environment without it being a centrally managed office. More reason why "work-from-home" is an under-efficient specifier on both sides for what people are often really asking for/what bosses really want. "Work-from-home-office" at the very least would offer a better impression to both sides, though I think the great-grandparent here's "flexible-location" is probably better still.
