I'm at a small company right now and I live 30 minutes door-to-door from work, and I WFH when I can. When it comes to solo-work my lead agrees I'm just as-productive, if not more-so, when I'm at home - but things like meetings and "hey, can you take a look at this thing on my computer?" just don't work remotely - it's the little things: like how even a 1080p conference room camera can't pick-up small details on the whiteboard and how people can't just pass me a printed document.
It was the same on my teams when I was at Microsoft too - we did have a couple of remote-workers, but they were effectively treated as contractors who worked in silos - because that's all they can do well when you can't get all that face-to-face contact.
Plus there's a lot of juicy talk and rumors over lunch that just don't get to participate in as well.
