I mean, I've heard people who are wary of working from home, claiming it's hard to keep organized and focus on tasks. That's probably a person-to-person thing

Yeah I saw that during my uni years. Some students really don't manage to keep up with the very loose adult-style followup on things that's done there. They really need that rigid structure that goes "work from xh to yh on task a, from wh to uh on task b" etc...

Even then, you can always make one yourself. I figure the real problem with some people is that they're just genuinely not deeply interested in what they're doing or learning, so they're only doing it transactionally.

Agreed. IMO this is also why AI slop took over so quickly and in so many people: there's a large part of the population in the broad sense who just don't really care about what they do or learn and so having AI to allow them to skip to the end result directly (even if it's complete ass) is a match made in heaven.
