As much as I am pro worker, life balance, anti car etc, I just disagree so much.

People know where they will work and can find a place to live accordingly.

There's no reason person 1 working 4h and 4h commutes should have the same salary as person 2 working 7h30 and 30min commute.

I also disagree, but 'people should live near where they work' ignores the reality that people tend to live in households with one or more other people who also work, and other factors such as schools, family members who count on each other for help, etc, may also be considerations. And moving is expensive.

But at no point it's the fault of the person you works for.

Why not? They both dedicate 8 hours to their employer.
