If you are fired you get unemployment (which the company has to pay). If you walk out you get no unemployment benefits. A better strategy to use if WFH is enforced with the goal of getting workers to quit is to just keep working from home and let them fire you, at least in terms of your income. You'll have to convince your next employer that you weren't fired for performance reasons. In any case companies that are trying to force workers to quit may be doing it to save money on unemployment benefits. If you already have another job lined up then quitting is the right thing to do, but otherwise think about the consequences to your income.
