There's a lot of celebrating about working from home and the convenience that brings, but there is no free lunch. A social trade off: now it is (the people who WFH) your responsibility to separate your work/family/life boundaries. I cant speak from experience (introvert, no family), but I think I understand people enough that many will be lulled by the convenience/comfort and not put enough effort into keeping those boundaries up. Expanding: your routine before the shutdown (gym, night classes, public talks, etc). Each of those now require two trips to participate (to and from), instead of hitting them up after (or during) work -> more effort to keep boundaries up.

Additionally, staying in the same place all day cuts out hundreds/thousands of opportunities (over a year) to meet people.

I disagree with people pushing for WFH to become the norm. As convenient as it is, I think it is a net negative to society/our social fabric. IMO, life is already too convenient. That being said, it may be possible for local (neighborhood/town) culture to bloom. It will be challenging in our hyper-political, 'can find people who agree with me anywhere in the world' environment.

There was an HN post with great discussion that I cannot find about the wiki article. Third place's were already in decline in the USA.

Lastly: This has been posted many times, but many of the employers costs could be transferred to the employee in a WFH environment.

EDIT: I should add, I've been working from home for > 5 years and live in a big city. I've watched my self discipline decline over the years (or maybe that's due to getting older, or being too comfortable). It's been very difficult to build a social network of friends.
