People are too caught up in the extremes. Obviously people shouldn't be forced to work in an office when working from home is a legitimate alternative, and commuting can be a pretty ugly routine, but there are benefits to working at the same place and time as others.
Anecdotally, I work 99% from home. Is it nice to wake up later, wear sweats all day, and make quick errands? Yes. But I also struggle to focus, feel like I'm on the clock constantly, and haven't made a single friend since the abrupt end of my senior year of college 3 years ago.
