For an internship it actually might be very worthwhile to be around people. Same if you are just starting a job, getting to know people is much easier in person. I can understand wanting to do that. People like WFH because their jobs require not much interaction that can't be replaced by text/voice/video chat and it saves them the commute time and increases their freedom. I wouldn't read too much into it.
