Dystopian take: WeWork will provide companies with all kinds of metrics and tracking, like time to enter and leave. This will make remote work "palatable" to a wider range of employers. Practical take: For the same reason companies don't let you book your own plane tickets and expense claim them, and almost always instead use corporate services like Amex Global Travel / Carlson Wagonlit Travel, as well as mandate the use of the corporate card on travels etc. When you have a non-trivial amount of employees, companies don't want to do one-off arrangements like that, or argue about what is reimbursable. WeWork being a "known quantity" / The Default(tm) is really important to Corporate. Your experience may vary at smaller companies.
