My view comes from my dislike of communicating via mail or video conferencing, and that I just don't want my home to be a place of work. Communicating online is wildly inefficient and lacks the nuance of doing things directly in person. It's so much easier to explain/teach things in person, and also get things thought in return. One of the best experiences I've had was an internship that involved so many hands-on experiences that would never have been possible remotely.
> So wasting 1-2 hours a day being non productive
Wasting in what way? Commuting? I love my commute, it's a nice 25 minute morning stroll on the cycle and provides the necessary motivation/pressure to get out of the house. I'm fine with people wanting to work remotely, I'm just not okay with working together with them (unless they're here at least 2-3 times a week) as it's wildly inefficient, and also not okay with people demanding that any company must offer full 5 days WFH as if it's a god given right.

If others don't want to come in and work with you, then you must find a new job. But don't expect anyone else to conform to your idea of how work should be. If for nothing else but for the same reasons you are using, personal preference.
