Look, I too would prefer to be in the office most days, and being new to my industry, wished others would do the same. But it's just not practical for so many people to be in every day when they have kids, or can't afford to live close to work.
I'm glad my company doesn't have any expectation of being in the office.
I have got kids and travel for over an hour to get into the office. It's what we all did pre-covid
Working from home is a privilege and should be treated as such. If it's taken for granted it will be taken away
Good for you, if an hour commute either way suits you, then cool. Though it's been shown through so many studies that a commute that long increases stress. It's also an hour you'll never get back.
If you're happy, then I'm happy for you, but you'd do well to use a little empathy that for others 2 hours from their day just makes life harder. Not everyone has they same life you have. We would all do well to remember that.
