That's a US perspective right? I don't think that exists much in Europe?
I just got a 3 month freelance gig (Netherlands) and even that requires full time on-site for absolutely no reason other than "boss says so". There's also a housing crisis going on and they wonder why they have an open vacancy for literally 6+ months.
I guess it's better to watch it burn than to allow WFH.
That's probably because you're a freelancer, which makes it a point for negotiation business to business.
Employees have a legal right to work from home, so far as is reasonable in their circumstances and their employer's. There is legislation and jurisprudence on that, which makes it a lot less soft than it at first appears. The boss can't just say 'no'.
