Remote work doesn't have an effect on productivity _at work_. There's a huge benefit to the personal life of the employee. When you take a break you can run laundry, run to the bank, vacuum, etc. The 30-90 minutes you don't spend sitting in traffic each day becomes productive time. With no negative impact to the employer, and only benefits to the employee, WFH represents a Pareto optimization: there's no reason not to do it.
