A properly crate trained dog won't have any issues being crated for many hours at a time, they just go in and go to sleep until you come home. That's what mine does. I don't even close the door, she just goes in, lays down, goes to sleep, and when I come home, she's still in there. Trained correctly, they don't see it as a cage, it's their own special place they cherish.

Have done several this way, have 2 now that were done this way...they like their crates. It is their place in the house. They voluntarily spend most of their day in them...

If you leave a dog inside alone they will sleep and or lay around and destroy shite

If you leave a dog crated they will sleep

Left inside alone a non crate dog isn’t any happier than a crated dog. It’s not like they enjoy watching tv or using stuff around the house

Dogs aren’t people. If you aren’t with them, they don’t get any more joy being left out vs being in a crate
