it normally refers to the time it takes to travel between work and home (often on a motor vehicle of some kind, but people do walk to work)

That's not exactly right. In some contexts it can mean travel time to work (eg I have a one hour commute) but more generally it describes the journey to work itself ( eg I commute by train; My commute has three transfers; my commit is better since the new bridge opened).

It's because America is very large, and thus, was not built densely.
