Like most work related policies, I think this falls squarely under “it depends.”
I’m an in-house video producer for a tech start up. I absolutely do not need to be in the office most days, let alone every day.

That's the real part highlighted by the pandemic: people are extremely reliant on their jobs for social interaction. With all the problems that come with it. We're practically raised to be dependent on jobs for way too many things.
Any examples that you've had success with?
You can get all of that in a cowork space while others work remotely.
I say this as a very social person. I like having colleagues. But the fact is I just don’t need to be in there most days, and they don’t understand what I do beyond “video,” so they don’t offer a lot of opportunity beyond that if we are being very utilitarian about it (which I generally don’t).
