But would you do it for 4?

I thought when people said they had an X hour commute they typically meant that they traveled for X hours to work and X hours from work

Good point. Where I am, people usually use "X hour commute" to mean the full amount in a day.

I wonder what percentage of people interpret it to mean one way vs. both ways.

Yeah I was wondering to what degree it is a regional thing. I'm from Australia and most people seem to mean it one way, but I've been wondering how many times I've misunderstood people online
