It does help you when you have to talk to the unemployment claim adjudicator and the employer tries to claim you quit.

If you can say, "They made a huge change to the terms of my employment. See? Right here, when they hired me, it said 100% remote role," then they're still on the hook for the charge even though you "voluntarily" quit.

That's a good point! (Although in practice I assume the terms of a "voluntary resignation" under something like https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-voluntary-resignation... are written to make that claim very difficult.)
