Working from home is not hard for you. That doesn't mean it isn't hard for everyone else. A few reasons WFH may be difficult for some people:

* You have kids at home

* You live in a tiny apartment and don't have room to set up a proper home office

* Your work is very collaborative and Zoom meetings are just not the same

* You live by yourself and the loneliness is brutal

* You find it hard to stay motivated without the daily camaraderie you had in the office

* You're in a pandemic that adds a ton of stress to your life

And that's just off the top of my head. It's great that you can successfully work from home, but please realize that your life experiences are not the same as everyone else's, and what is a positive experience for you may be dreadful for others. And also remember that we're in a pandemic and the current WFH conditions are far from optimal for most people who were forced into it.
