Personally, I find it hilarious to use "humans are social animals" to justify office oriented mandatory wage labor. Humans are social animals in the sense that they thrive when being social with whoever and wherever they want to be social. I don't know about you, but I have more time to be social with the people (friends, family, neighbors, volunteer groups, etc) that I actually want to be social with when WFH. Being forced to drive to an office under the pretense of "this is how our evolutionary ancestors preferred it" is low key gross. You can - and should - be able to disseminate engineering culture through digital means.
