My assumption is that people who love WFH are generally suburbanites who can’t fathom getting to work involves anything other than sitting in traffic for two hours.
If you have small kids working from an office gives you a good place to work with, hopefully, less distractions.
Some people like commuting because its their me time. Some people like the socialization being in an office gives them. Some careers/roles are easier when you can walk over to someones desk and talk to them.
There are plenty of reasons why working in an office might be interesting to someone. Just like there are plenty of reasons why working fully remotely is interesting to someone.
My drive to work is 7 minutes, I live in a suburban neighborhood. I don't work in the office because there's no need for it.
Can we all just agree that people want different things?
At home, I can close my door and it is much superior for my personal productivity than an open office cube plan.
Office work is not just about the commute, it is also about terrible work conditions where you may be seated in an open space shared by support, engineers, sales, etc.
"So many people can't accept that ANYONE is more productive in a remote setting".
This "us vs them" discourse is so childish. Just find the company that works the way you want, either all in office, or hybrid, or all distributed and move on.
That said, it seems remote would be the planet friendly option. No commute, reduce the need for additional building by retrofitting offices as residences (yeah, zoning), etc.
Currently working remotely and living in a city, because that's where all the services are.
