In fact, many people who strongly prefer working from home prefer it because they can socialize more with people they actually prefer to socialize with: family, relatives, neighbors

Lots of business will continue to have some office space, if only for in-person meetings, or for people to work from the office on days that they have meetings.
I do think that there are intangible benefits that come from being at the office in person, but I work remotely 98% of the time, so I’ve clearly made my decision as to the trade-offs lmfao
Liking my co-workers is an important part of good workplace culture for me, and if I wouldn't like them then it would be time for me to go look for a new job. Unfortunately, I'm less flexible regarding my housing situation.
Time-wise, I work about 50 hours a week, which is about an order of magnitude more than I'm even near my neighbors.
