This is so deliberately myopic as to make me question whether your argument is in good faith.
A "$xx000+ climate control" is something _literally anyone who's employed_ would have as a furnace (or, slightly less commonly, as a/c, but still very prevalent[1]) and is not a unique expense to WFH. The perk is being able to set it where I want (vs. my employer setting it for me), not simply "having it." And if a $100 mechanical keyboard is a truly unobtainable indulgence for budget reasons, surely a $100 car repair to facilitate commuting to the office is, too.
