Having the option to work remotely doesn't mean that in-person work must be eliminated. Even considering only the people whose jobs can be done remotely, it's entirely valid to want to be around people. But requiring people to be in the office when their jobs can trivially be done remotely is silly. I speak as someone who likes to work in the presence of others, so I mostly do, but I appreciate the option to work remotely and make use of it regularly. The notion of "the office" isn't going extinct, it's just evolving, and in this case I think it's evolving in a good direction.
