Other way around. If I'm primarily working over Zoom, I find that depressing, like eating microwave meals rather than real food.
Convenient but long term unhealthy.

But more importantly, you are correct - socialization is critical for some people. But that doesn't mean it has to come from your office. The people I know who need that interaction and do not get enough from family or housemates solve it by gathering in groups in their local town and putting together their own working space.
Personally, I find it odd if not downright disturbing that you equate going to an office with long-term health. Most of us find the opposite. We're all different people with different needs, of course, but you really might want to consider all possible options for getting your personal needs met.
This argument is always made by people who like WFH. I don't want another hobby. I want to spend my time building cool shit with cool people. That's just a personal preference. I absolutely must spend a large portion of my day working. To me, it just makes sense to work somewhere that I can be friends with my co-workers. I don't really want to dedicate a lot of extra time to going out and finding friends. This is just a personal preference. There isn't a right answer. Stop trying to tell others how to live.

What happens outside of those hours is not relevant. You may as well smoke and pretend it's fine because you eat salad for lunch.
Everyone I know who's a Zoom lover is fairly obviously broken as a person, like all of the social media doomscrollers. They've replaced life with life simulator.
