Why not? I really dislike people who don't turn on their video, which it was enforced. If you get the luxury of sitting at home, should at least be polite and show your face

So if I'm in the office I don't have to show my face? I work at a company that has offices in I honestly don't even know how many countries and pre-covid I had no need to see someones face from Germany, India, Japan, America, etc.
Working from home doesn't change that in my mind. If you're not in my house or my office, I have no need to see you.
I work in a remote-only team since mid-2019 and we've never used video in any meeting (even including the job interview). Why would we? On average there's one audio meeting per week; all the rest is done over chat, mail and issue tracker.
Video in meetings that don't require it is just a stressful distraction.
That is a wise move! my team is total remote, and we do audio only meetings, it works just right. Video calls are making everyone feel the way people on TV feel every slouchy every mumble every interruption is magnified. What do you use for audio calls? Zoom? Skype? Tappy is perfect for Audio-only meetings. Very simple and light, the audio quality is better than Zoom. https://tappy.so/
