This one sounds like he lost his job and hasn’t told his wife yet.

This is actually what DH and I thought. I actually posted about it a little while back on another thread, about the DH who had lost his job a year prior and kept "going to the office" while embezzling money from their investment accts so DW wouldn't notice. I know what industry he is in, and it's not a wfh industry, but who knows. I've never asked. The idling bothers me more than his family issues honestly.

One of my neighbors actually did this. His wife knew but he didn't want the neighbors to know. This was in the early 2000s when no one worked remotely. He'd get dressed up in a suit, get in his huge American car and drive to the train station a mile or so away from our house and sit there. Eventually he just stayed home and hid. One of the neighbors knew someone where he used to work and heard he'd been fired. He was one of the most unpleasant people I've ever known.

JFC living among judgmental neighbors like you would make anyone unpleasant.

If it’s for shorter periods of time (like 10-ish minutes) he’s playing a location based game like Pokemon Go.

Longer periods of time, he’s recording content in his car for his TT, YT, or other social media and he doesn’t want to do it in his own driveway or garage for privacy reasons, and/or because the lighting is better in an open field.
