The commute is a big part! I was thinking about this recently and calculated that, since I started working from home (January 2020, slightly before everyone else), I've saved $4500 and 750 hours that I would have spent commuting. Trying to do focused work in an open floorplan environment always felt pretty silly to me, but I never really minded being in the office, but thinking about it now...a leisurely morning walk to the park to sit in the sun with coffee before work is a hell of a lot nicer than any commute I ever had.
