There’s literally no option for public transit, because I live near one rail system, and my work is near an entirely separate rail system. The two aren’t connected at all, so there’s no way for me to transition in between the two. Making a transfer between the two literally takes longer than simply walking to work, because the two closest stations are farther apart than where I live compared to my job.

What surprises me the most in yours and the OP is how much longer the walking and biking are comparatively. I picked a random spot 11min drive away from my house for comparison:

And I'm in the "countryside" of the Netherlands, no trains, trams or anything like this here and bus station is already like 10/15min walk.

I expect the public transit craziness but why is walking/biking that much more?

Mine's a bit closer to your proportions, although I'm not sure if Google can accurately predict the effects climbing a steep hill up and down will have on cycling and walking. The weird thing is the public transport. It must not know about all available lines, because that should be more like 90 minutes.

Try CityMapper? I often get better results there .

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already don't use Google for actual navigation, just for rough estimations. I'm quite happy with OsmDroid.
