Overall, it's nice to have the ability to pay for food and a shelter. But the traditional job with an hour commute each way is not the only, and in many cases not the optimal way to do this. There may be reasons to be thankful for working at this particular job (That's very satisfying work, that improves the world?) or owning that particular car (It's a fun car to drive, and gives you another set of autonomy) But the concept that you should just stfu about the commute and be thankful of the job and car is manipulative and condescending. For this particular example, the response to "having a hour long commute" should be solutions, which is otherwise suggested in other contexts. Sadly, while good employers can provide many solutions, such as improved commute options, or the ability to work partially from an office/coworking-space/coffee shop closer to home, most employees are left with the only solution of either dealing with it, or finding a new job.
