All those things are part of the office and you don't have to pay for them.

Other than commute which could be a bitch in the US what other problems for the company do they create? Yes hanging out at home is nice for you/me, you can rest, nap, be with your kids, do chores, but how would this matter to the company when people abuse these situations on a regular basis?

I gladly paid for them so I don't have to commute. Since going remote I could move to the countryside too. Bigger house, nicer environment, cheaper. My home office setup follows me if I switch jobs.

If you don't have the discipline to work when you are supposed to, that's a you problem.
All other issues are easily solvable too, either with the right tools, or the right processes.
