Are you not insisting on one solution that is "remote flexibility"?

> opposes to one inflexible policy for everyone.

Remote flexibility imposes remote peer requirements on everyone.

I understand that you want to work remote and have created a narrative in support of validating that desire. I'm saying if you can't see any valid reasons why an employer would choose not to do that beyond some pouty made up "Validating the purchase of office space", you're being stubborn just for the sake of it.
