It depends on what you do during that time. Listen to an audio book or learn something. Call a friend or family that you didn't talk to often. Chat with the passenger. The best of just winding down between work and home, though trains are good for that too.
More power to you if you feel that way.
I found sitting in traffic after working to be soul crushing.
I borrowed my husband's phone one day to take a pic. There were dozens of pictures of him making funny faces. WTF? That's my mad face. That's my happy face. That's my 'just learned about aliens ' face. Again...WTF? He said, "That's what i do while I'm sitting in traffic." 🤷
I went from a commute of 1hr 15min each way to 5 min each way and my life improved so much. No activity in the car would make me ever change back to my old setup.
IMHO commute time overall, car or not, is one of the largest QoL factors after things like money, partner, socials etc
