The OP's claim is slightly vague, but would most charitably be read as saying that if you compare all teams (as in the total of all teams around the world), they will perform better in-person than remote, and that this is unlikely to change.
You seem to be interpreting the OP as having said that each and every team is always better in-person. Your read is plausible, but HN guidelines say we should interpret charitably.

Your work environment won't influence all teams, just yours, so it shouldn't be fit to all. 1 - Unless you are talking about how to tell those teams apart and discover what environment each one fits better. That would be valuable.
