So, by your thinking, anyone who leaves the home to go work in an office regrets having children and regrets living with their spouse. Yes, I agree with you, your lack of understanding is offensive.
I appreciate the downvotes as they confirm the emotional damage, but I am not a fan of misusing logical implications.
Obviously, in a pre-Covid world leaving your home to go to work was simply the societal expectation of how to acquire an income. WFH mostly came with economic downsides (lower salary, no promotions).
During Covid and post-Covid it's quite an interesting question why somebody would voluntarily lobby to add unpaid work time in the form of a commute to their day.
I'm in a similar situation and also built something similar for an office during covid. I definitely don't regret having children or living with my spouse, and we actually decided to have a third child (now 6m) during covid.
So basically there was no dedicated room inside the house for WFH before?
When you use your shed, what are the aspects that you came to value? E.g. is it more about the feeling of nature (because the garden is much closer) or is it more about the sound-separation from the rest of the home? Or would you be as happy with a dedicated room within your house?

I was previously working from our bedroom. The main downside was if I wanted to start working while my wife was still asleep.

Sound separation, and not needing to work for my room that also has another purpose. But a dedicated room with in a house is better for me, and when one became available I started working from there instead of the shed.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Did you do extra-preparation on the extra room that is now available to you? E.g. foaming walls or door to have the same level of sound separation?
Which direction of sound separation is more important to you, incoming sound (not being disturbed) or outgoing sound (not disturbing sleeping people with your work)?
