What you say sounds fun when you are young, i know this because i lived that kind of life too but when you get older and have a family, you have to prioritize them. You can't live in a small apartment 5 mins from work, you would rather use the extra two hours you spend commuting to bond with your kids etc... In an ideal world with infinite money and infinite space, i would choose to live 5 mins away from my workplace, but seeing as how i'm not rich, i don't want to live my life like a serf. In the end, you can't have it all so for me (and many others) WFH gives me a choice.

This is where I see a lot of remote work being in favor of people who already have a career and are on the path to retirement. If you're younger looking to get mentored and build networks, you're out of luck.
