I think you are right on average about learning, but I am sure you have learned a lot from your colleagues in 22 years of WFH: I sure did in my 15+ years. I think the main difference is between fully remote companies and semi-remote, semi-colocated employees: this is probably the worst of all worlds (depending on the distribution of people who are remote and who's in office). Having recently moved into an office, the one thing I hate the most is lack of a personal office (open space, urgh): moving away from my desk and back the whole day for any calls with people outside the office. I might as well take one of those "phone booths" to myself.

I do consulting so I often go to customer's offices but I haven't seen one of my companies offices in about 6 years, I enjoy a little office time every now and then. That said, the "open office" and the hot desking is a nightmare, no wonder people want to work from home it's like working at the airport. I'm going to add one more thing and that is that (at least in my 20's and early 30's) work was very social, lots of friendships were fostered over beers after work. I know statistically 1/3 of all people meet their mate at work so socially not going to work is really a bad thing -maybe that's why every 20 something is so lonely and hate their jobs so much, it's all work and it didn't used to be that way/
