One of the main issues is that there is no longer the opportunity to 'overhear' things. You can make arguments all day for things to be written down more, develop a culture of it, etc., but there is still a lot of value from people who are working on different things shooting the shit at lunch, because they help each other learn, it improves team morale, etc.
Also, specifically because of the pandemic, "WFH" has left a bad taste in a lot of managers' mouths, because EVERYONE HAS GOT PROBLEMS right now. That has nothing to do with WFH, but everyone is calling it WFH, so that is now what WFH means - stuck at home, no ability to go out, miserable because your kids are at home and/or your SO and/or your family, no social interaction (or minimal) with your team or anyone else, etc.
That isn't what WFH means, but that is what a lot of people now think it means.
