So you really think people can't bond online? There is literally people falling in love playing MMORPG's together. I have personally gained a few good friend from good old IRC chats.
You are allowed to bond and have fun on calls. Yes, you can't smell or touch people but that is not something you want in a business context anyway.
Last company I worked with was fully remote and we where super close to each other even though I have never met them in person. I never felt alone. Currently, I am super isolated. The issue is that my current company simply refuses to learn how to do remote properly, so it sucks.
I think it is often simply an ego thing of people who found socializing in the office easy and refuse to learn how to do it remote which has different rules and requires a different skill set.
