Not that I mind, but... wearing shoes has a purpose... and the most important one IMO is to make sure our feet stay harms way from broken bottles, nails, stuff like that.

I'm not even gonna get into how cold it must be not wearing them in the winter... or how hot the asfalt might get during the summer. The asfalt can go up to 80, 90°C where I live during the summer, people have fried eggs on it for kicks.

Don't most people already do a substantial amount of barefoot walking in their homes? I'm somewhat sedentary and work from home so my % might be different, but I image at least half of my walking is inside barefoot already.

At home is a different beast, because the terrain is known, managed and mostly flat or stairs

Yes, but as @Chee_Koala already pointed out it's flat terrain and for the most part it's relatively soft. If you were to extended walking in your home it would probably be wise to wear shoes or change your gait. Walking on hard cement or stone for extended periods of time while landing primarily on your heel would definitely be bad for you.
