In London, I'm inclined to agree with this. 2 days seems a fair balance. The trouble is that the majority of employees have signed a legally binding contract that says "your legal place of employment is <insert address here>", meaning that you are legally obliged to go back into the office. Some companies think it is a "competitive advantage" to have people back in the office. A couple of banks and accountancy firms certainly seem to think so. But as everyone has said "it depends". I've worked in 7-to-a-row open plan offices in banks, to small companies. I was more productive in open-plan when I was in my early 20s, and far more productive on my own or in smaller quieter offices as I've gotten older. Going back to this from the other day [1] "Insulating developers from interruptions" is the best reason to wfh.
