Sounds like a post from r/antiwork but I do understand your point. In fact, when I was working in London it was doing the maths on my "unpaid labour" at the time which made me quit and start my first business.
1.5 hours each way * 5 days a week = 15 hours a week
That's 780 hours a year (not including holidays/sick leave etc)
That's 32.5 24 hour days! One whole calendar month sat in my car each year.
As soon I did that maths it was only a question of time before I quit.

Then there's the impact on the environment. Dropping your commute isn't an entirely selfish idea.
