You may not be working at a place where remote work is part of the culture. When everyone is remote, the tools and processes are built around it and it no longer feels like a “pain in the ass”.
In that culture, being home 2 days out of 5 is no problem. Being 100% remote (like some of our folks) seems to work out fine (though I will admit being 100% remote as a manager is not as feasible).
We all wear headsets and despite a somewhat "open" office layout, it manages to work out decently (thru proper usage of mute and pausing screen).
