I live 20 minutes' walk from my workplace.

I've been working from home almost exclusively since lockdowns started, and it's hugely beneficial to me, while adding minimal burden to the actual work. Being in my own space, with my cats nearby, my own kitchen just a few steps away, and my family doing their own work in other rooms...

And this is as compared to my own spacious office, with a decent minifridge and a back room I can sit in if I need to be more clearly "unavailable".

Thinking back to my previous job, where I worked in a cube farm, I just shudder inside. There is no way in hell I'm ever going back to that soul-destroying atmosphere, and by far the most reliable way to ensure that is to only take full-remote jobs from now on.
