Experience doesn't necessarily equal to wisdom or smartness. I have been working remote for the last 5 years, after working in offices for a decade. Guess what advantage the office gave me? Nothing. Everything good I did in office I do at home, just more efficiently.
Also, you're assuming those "experienced" managers are taking a position that is beneficial to everyone. At least in my experience, this is not often true. They're doing what they need to do, to further their own careers (not faulting them, just pointing it out).
I didn't call the managers dumb, I called their meetings dumb. One can be super smart and still force dumb meetings, if that helps his/her career.

I imagine that in general, remote work is likely better for big teams working on relatively 'high-certainty' projects where they have a high degree of domain-relevant expertise. In-person work seems better for more uncertain projects and smaller teams which can benefit from greater communication, and integrated problem-solving. I'd be interested to learn more about what types of projects you've worked on.
