> The once-dreaded long commute is about to come back in a big and pleasant way. I would have no issue at all sitting in a Waymo for 45 minutes each way every day. It’s just a nice time to myself that I can use to nap, work, or read.

In places with working public transit, you can already have that experience. While it may make the experience less stressful (because you're not driving), it is still a huge time sink. You can do something entertaining while on a bus or in a Waymo, but it still blocks off time you could spend more productively.
