You invite people to answer, yet you only want answers that agree with you. Strange.
Anyway, I do disagree with you, but that's fine. Enjoying remote work or not is entirely a personal preference, and there's no single answer. Which is why it feels wrong for so many companies to have strict policies either way.
I personally enjoy remote work, and wouldn't want to go back to an office. I can be much more efficient working in a home office, have less distractions, and be happier overall. I do occasionally miss office banter, and bonding over lunch, but I definitely don't miss the drama and politics that goes along with it. Not having to commute, working in my own environment, and the additional flexibility are cherries on top.
For me, the office wasn't a social club. There are other venues much more suitable for that. I also don't think that you need to know someone personally in order to work well with them professionally. The team-building events many companies insist on having to improve "team spirit" and "work culture" are cringe beyond belief.
