Well what I’m trying to tell you is that there are probably more people than you realise who want to be in the office. My partner, and a bunch of my coworkers, hated being forced to work from home during the pandemic. So maybe that’s part of the reason.
I can’t imagine wanting to go into the office on the regular. The commute. The lost time (can math out to like a 20% pay cut, if you spend two hours a day traveling + getting ready). The sickness. The lack of control over environment (temperature, sound).
Can’t relate to it. And I’m a very social person that likes interacting with people.
I live 15 minutes from work. If I got out of bed early enough I could easily bike there (and have done so).
Really the only thing I miss from work from home is the ability to take a short break once per hour to do some bodyweight exercises or kettbell swings during lunch.
But on the flipside, it’s hard for me to stay concentrated while at home. I personally get way more work done in the office.

The office is super distracting for many people.
I’m not suggesting it should be mandatory for everyone. Just pointing that the office is preferable for some
