What I found during Covid as a department head, and I was fine with it, is that the remote work gave people the opportunity to get things done during the day that when they were in the office or place of business 9-5 they couldn't. Personal life got better. Work still got done but it was the time of day that changed as people could decide to work after dinner, early in the morning, or after the kids went to bed.
If they implement this law what it will do is move more organizations to require you to be in the office every day, 9-5, just like before. The work still has to get done, questions need answers, communications still have to happen. You cannot take the time during the day to walk the dogs in the park, take naps, go for a run, take a long lunch, take an afternoon with the kids, etc. if you are also not willing to respond and work after normal hours. Most work is not able to be done in complete isolation, management needs updates, they have questions, projects are still active, etc.
