Commute is very location-specific and will be very different between USA and Europe, and different even between different locations in USA and different countries in Europe, you are right.

But when we speaking about Microsoft, Google, FaceBook, etc., workers, I think canteen is a norm, not reality for most workers.

And many workers outside IT cannot WFH at all. You cannot be salesman or welder or teacher or plumber WFH... We all are very privileged, no matter how long is our commute.
