Capital looses so much from people working from home.

Easiest to notice is property values. They own or rent huge buildings that will loose value as the need for them decreases. That is capitalism 101.

The bigger loss for Capital is leverage and control. If the employee is no longer bound by the shackles of working at a location, they loose the ability to pay them less, to lord over their time, to dictate their needs and will onto their employees. Suddenly Capital is forced to compete non-locally in a way they never had to before.
