I actually agree with you. I don't think it needs to be strictly enforced. I think most people just don't realize how terrible their WFH setup is; they don't give it a moment's thought.

I've observed that they either feel they can't change it, or they put up with distractions, or they don't worry about setting boundaries, or the equipment is subpar compared to the office.

Having a checklist would at least get people to think for a moment.

It's not rocket science. In an ideal world, people probably have a dedicated room, a good adjustable chair that fits them, good lighting for video, temperature control, ergonomic keyboard setup, etc. Sure you can write all that down on a page. Maybe make a video. But a lot of people just don't have that space and there's nothing they can easily do about it.
