I agree blue collar/white collar is a better description than class though. I sort of took class to mean income in this context.

It’s too much of a nuanced subject to apply a sweeping generalisation, as was originally/ flippantly applied.
It’s funny but when was young working from home was the direct opposite of that assumption. Working from home was more associated with licking stamps and stuffing envelopes, or niche craft enterprises.
An amazon warehouse worker can earn as much, potentially more, than a Virgin Media telesales advisor.
So, I take your point, but given who said the original statement I don’t think he was applying a more considered view, such as yourself.
