I have no doubt that if most people lived next door to the office they wouldn't mind going into the office and might even prefer it. The sad reality for Apple and any company in the Bay Area: house prices near work are insane and commute times to the 'burbs are crazy long. Also, BART has gotten much less safe over the last few years, so some people feel they must drive. All of Apple's justifications mean nothing in the face of the above.
