Working from home, you can wear clothes that are less polished and professional. (Depending on the needs of the day, you might not even need to take a shower and get properly dressed at all!) You can pop back down to the kitchen at 9:15 and grab a breakfast to bring back to your seat. You can hear the dog barking to get back in right from your desk, rather than having to wait for them to be done, then put them in the crate, before you go. You know that the route to your desk won't have a random delay of 0-20 minutes, so you have to leave early just to guarantee arriving on time. You know that there won't be a line at the coffee. Even ignoring all those little improvements, there's a big difference between "the maximum speed I can get from bed to door in an emergency" and "the speed I am comfortable moving to get ready to go every morning of every workday."
