Parents often seem to be the most ardent proponents of remote work, This makes sense, because someone in a relationship with kids spends significant amounts of time with the people they love every day by default. Going to an office just takes away from that. Single people spend time alone for most of the day by default, so I don't think it's surprising at all that they would prefer to be around people most of the day before going back to an empty home. Most of us crave social interaction. All of the suggested alternatives to the office for socializing (coffee shops, coworking spaces, bars) are in general just worse, more expensive versions of a company-provided office.
