If I need heads down time during WFH, I literally turn on do not disturb mode and flip my teams to "busy". As in the office, I would put headphones on and find a quiet corner.
Meetings depend on the company, my team gets a lot of information transferred quickly whether it's on a call, in person, or async over teams messages.
Spyware - definitely sucks, I luckily have a pretty lax IT group (I'm part of them) but we're not super concerned unless something is malicious.
I think to some, remote work is a trade off. To others, remote work is a gigantic benefit. I would take remote work over a 25% raise, for example. Others might not.
To each their own, but for me - not putting miles on my. vehicles, getting 2+ hours of the day back, and being able to hit laundry / other chores over lunch is amazing for my work/life balance.
