Working from home sounds ideal until you realize your commute is twelve steps and your coworkers are a houseplant and whatever's in the fridge. Remote workers have a very specific set of needs — things that make the home office feel less like a compromise and more like an upgrade. Better coffee because they're making it themselves now. Something for the desk that isn't just a laptop and a stack of mail they're avoiding. A way to end the day that actually signals to their brain that work is over. These are real problems that real objects can solve, and the person in your life who works from home has probably been solving them imperfectly for a while.
