Mmm. I think he was saying he thought WFH was a great idea and it turned out that it had negative repercussions he hadn't anticipated. No need to strawman him.

I happen to have experienced the exact same thing. Switched to 100% WFH during COVID and never came off it. I fortunately have a family, but the reality is that family requires a lot of chronological investment (homework, dinners, bonding, etc). Previously working in an office was able to fulfill my extra-familial social needs as a human, but without an office it's much harder to make that happen. I am obviously very glad that I have a family (and was especially glad during COVID), but I do think that family + WFH leaves very little time for traditional social activities.
