To what extent is this an actual issue with WFH?

COVID has deteriorated my mental health significantly, and the last time my productivity was this low, I was a teenager living with my parents.

I've spent the majority of my career working from home, and I suspect this data has little if any relationship to workspaces -- almost everyone I know is bent out of shape right now.

Yep, the study is absolutely confounded by all the unique variables of 2020. The headline should be "Employees Found It Harder To Work From Home During a Cataclysmic Pandemic, Generational Economic Downturn, and Widespread Social Upheaval".
Not to mention a serious breakdown in the availability of schooling and childcare. This will affect some people a lot more than others, so it should be possible to infer its relative importance.
