It's not the office people hate so much as the commute.
Back in the late 19th century the ideal being fought for was 8 hours work, 8 hours leisure and 8 hours sleep. Workers lived 5 minutes away from their place of work, so the above was realistic.
Fast forward to the 21st century and it's still 8 hours work, but 2 hours commute leaving maybe 6 hours leisure and 8 hours sleep. It's the commute people resent and rebelled over during the lockdown when it was eliminated.
