The largest barrier to WFH is corporate culture or a need for "hands on" collaboration (client meetings, white boarding, etc.) My company flies my boss in for 2-3 days every other week, which is expensive, but supposedly cost effective. I could WFH 3-4 days/week, if I wanted, but I haven't really pursued the matter. My commute is fine and it gets me showered, so I go to the office.
I don't think WFH 5 days/week is a magic bullet. It's really easy to settle into a sedentary lifestyle and it does get lonely at times. For me, it would be a way to live wherever I wanted and not have to work for Walmart.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
