What do you consider an in-person company? Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc may have offices, but half of them are in other countries around the world. Teams are constantly having remote meetings to meet up with their counterparts on the other side of the world. That's not in-person work. That's remote work in an office. If you have to meet virtually with people in other offices, and do sync-ups with them, and use out of band tools to collaborate, are you really in-person? Why am I doing 9pm meetings when my job is in-office? What kind of in-person collaboration are you doing when you're not meeting in-person?

Obviously there is a spectrum, but having worked at multiple FAANG companies, teams are generally collocated and a majority of your interactions are within your team. And of course these companies are only able to have many offices because they experienced a large amount of success when there was only one office.
