> Have you considered that those of your view and those espousing that remote is more difficult might have different personalities, levels of need of social interaction, or lifestyles? Yes and no. There's the people personalities that affect the end result, but sometimes the company is the one setting hurdles that make everything hard. "There's no free interaction, like at the coffee machine." but don't offer spaces (or time) for people to relax online and/or connect. "You don't have the immediate help of others that are around you." others that can distract you sometimes, and meanwhile you want to even deduct the bathroom break's time from remote workers. "I need some socialization." do your time, then find another outlet of socialization. Some companies are not embracing remote working. Some might have valid reasons (most of the staff is local and we want the ones that could remote to have heavy interaction) or non-valid ones (I'm the boss and I want to see everyone at the office). Of course, for these companies, remote will be hard. They are making it so.
