That rewards employees for living as far away from the office as possible. Is that a fair thing to do? I seriously don't know.

you're right, let's scrap offices altogether and wfh 100%

Something tells me there might be a middle ground here.

Here's a radical idea: just let each employee decide if and when they work from home or in the office.

I'm not sure why you're talking to me like I'm suggesting some sort of crazy thing when I wasn't even making any suggestions...

I'm not? You said there must be a middle ground between incentivizing a forced RTO vs scrapping offices altogether and I presented one.

Not rewards, incentivises, means the employer has a larger labor pool to pick from, which in capitalism is good.

But isn't making commutes longer a bad thing? Especially for the planet? And this is encouraging it.

Capitalism in general is bad for the planet
