I have not heard of evidence of flitting, nor have I defended it, So that is a straw man.
Much of the working population of London commutes from significant distance, or they get a small weekly bed sit.
They keep their sanity by going home at weekends. It is easy to judge others on a life you don’t know.

Many ( sensibly) wanted to live out the crisis in the country where they have legitimate reason to be, and are being turned away,or facing open hostility, and in some cases worse. It is wrong,

I don’t have a uk second home, and I can’t speak for the rights and wrongs of that, I do get The argument, and byelaws can help address it,

However I do think those who do own them, have just as much right to live in them as the resident next door.
