What if you get a ride to work in an SUV by somebody who doesn't work for the company? Could the boss fire you for that? How far do we take this?

The way I see it, if the boss's rules impact the employee's personal life in such a way that they cause undue stress and therefore poorer work performance, and the boss did nothing to alleviate said stress, the employee would have a case.

The boss should be able to fire you for that. They generally are, legally.

If the employee does not like the employer's rules, they can quit. No one is making them keep their job.
