As an employee the cost of working from home is GARGANTUAN. I already life where I want to, don't force me to move to a more expensive place so that I have space for an office at home. I don't need to move for any office, as all offices in my local city (1+ mil) are easily reachable by bike or subway within 30 minutes.

You don't have a desk, chair, and wifi at home?

Or a kitchen table or anything?

I mean I guess it's unfair to assume everyone has any kind of office space set up at their homes but I'm kinda shocked you don't already just have a flat surface and a chair.

90% of the people I do video calls with are either calling from a literal closet or do an animated/replacement background anyway. Like you I spent a lot of time and effort preparing my (real life) background behind me, and most people are surprised when they find out it isn't fake.

Point being, no one cares, and you do not need a "home office" to WFH. You can WFH from a bus
