Hello! It sounds to me that you take very good care of your dog and are concerned about his health and happiness. My opinion is that you are providing a great home for him and he is happy to be with you.
I've also felt guilty during days when I don't have tons of time to play with Max. Like you, I try to walk him most days and have playtime outside as well. But I do think he is just as happy on days when I have to study and read and can't give him as much attention. If your dog is like mine, I think he is happy just to be near you. Mine sleeps a good bit during the day, as well. Plus, keep in mind that a lot of owners have to leave their pets at home for long hours during the day to go to work. I watch mine on a pet camera while I'm gone, and he's always asleep.
I really believe your home is the best place for Johnny to be!
