It's a bit rich to call not having someone dictate where you go most days a "privilege".

A more accurate wording might be "once you stop imposing a hardship" ... it's hard to convince people to let you re-impose it (for free).

Work is a voluntary contract for both sides and the terms are agreed before signing it, not dictated afterwards . And the standard so far was that the work is done at location specified by the employer. So it's not something that's suddenly been invented to oppress the employees.
I mean, it is a privilege. One many industry are physically unable to do even if they wanted to. We shouldn't forget that tech really is in a special situation for a lot of these factors that are being treated as novel in the 2020's.
