Most people have commute times within that span. For me and I believe most people, the supposed benefits of the office are far outweighed by the advantages of avoiding a commute and having a quiet place to get work done.

Granted that onboarding new workers may be more challenging, but this can be improved by creating a more efficient process for new employees that in the end might be better than the onboarding experience pre-wfh.

Have there been any studies showing why people are choosing to work from home that you're drawing the "most people" from? Also, home is not a quiet place for some people. I have two kids and my home is absolutely not a quiet place to get work done. Indeed, most days I do brave the commute it's because the office is a quieter place that facilitates increased productivity. Again, I'm all for working from home - for myself and others. But it's not a panacea.
