I disagree. At home, motivation can be way harder for people. The "buzz" is missing. I've heard this regularly from my devs/ui/ux team. They like coming in. Motivation is lacking at home. You can wash clothes, clean or watch some netflix. Sure people slack off in the office, but the feeling that they are part of something is there and gives motivation.
This whole discussion seems to be about a minority which tries to argue that everyone should do it like they would've liked to have it for themselves. That's plain dishonest.
A lot of people in these discussions should really try different employers. We have a flexible setup. The maximum number of days people would like to stay at home is 2 per week. Most people come in every day.

Most people come in every day. How can the factor of people coming in because they need to keep up appearances with others coming in be controlled for in this experiment?
