"Working from home is merely a benefit that has grown in popularity, comparable by importance to health insurance in certain industries, but fundamentally it is a benefit."
Not at all. It is desirable for many people, not all, but it is not just a benefit.
It's a different way of working. For some kinds of work, it's a better way of working.

However, in the long run, the transition to working from any location where one can be most effective may be regarded as a more fundamental aspect of the modern workplace. Nonetheless, some might point out that in the United States, medical insurance is considered essential to employment, yet it is frequently presented as a benefit. The definition of an employment benefit is pretty loose. But I understand your sentiment — this could become (or perhaps you already see it becoming) larger than a typical employment benefit.
