I can tell you that the comfort of your home is a huge factor. I would not dismiss it. I think that it accounts for a lot of the difference between European attitudes to WFH and American. My best WFH situation was a beach house where I had a dedicated room for work, a large back garden and could take 3 walks a day down the beach between calls.

Well, I am a US expat in Europe, I lived in a house in San Francisco with a very nice home office slash man-cave, then moved to London where it's a 9'x6' (3x2m) fish bowl with eaves and no air conditioning. But it's really the isolation that got to me, most of my colleagues were remote in Tel Aviv. It also helps that my commute is 30 minutes by bus + Tube vs 45 to 90 minutes in SF due to Muni's abysmal unreliability.
