Lots of people want it to be true. I feel for those who can't admit how far they've fallen behind due to social disconnection or not being able to trade ideas with colleagues. I wish there were more solid studies done. Many use self-estimated productivity. Some seem to simply be pro-remote work, i.e have that as an agenda. That's fine as an interest of course but doesn't answer the question in terms of forcing everyone, for those it's not a good fit.
My workplace is post-remote now. We're back to fulltime in the office. I'm super happy for all the random interaction, problem solving together and coffee breaks. The social interaction enables us to work better in the team.
The best policy was not the topic of the comment but it's probably to let those who want and like remote work to do it.

Ah yes, the pervasive disruptive social din of an office. Unstructured, random and disruptive interactions. How anyone achieves optimal focus and gets into the zone when in an office is beyond me.
