Possibly they don't have calm or comfortable place for work at home. Possibly they would get lonely and demotivated over time. Possibly many people derive motivation from other people and would lack it absent personal contact - purely online classes have huge failure rates too.

When I had a WFH job, I would go days without talking to anybody. I literally started conversing with the cat and singing because my throat muscles began to atrophy. Once I got back into an office, I realized that my social skills had gone to shit.

There are some perks to WFH, but it can be bad for people who don't have a drive to seek human interaction with reasonable frequency.

If you're going to WFH, definitely get out and walk to lunch in the sunshine/fresh air. We're not meant to live in a cave 24/7.
