Look, I am just gonna say it a certain way: It is better now but there were long stretches in my life where the only in person human interaction I had was at work or at stores(until delivery apps became a thing) would have sucked big time if I did wfh then.

I also did wfh doing call support and now IT/infosec stuff. Night and day!

Team dynamics: not everyone can develop interpersonal relationships well when wfh compared do in person. Imagine being the new guy and have a million questions but your personality forces you to evaluate body language and greetings in person before you are comfortable approaching someone.

Oh, and.. Some people have terrible home situation. I don't mean just kids but sick people to care for, abusive people living with them,loud roommates,etc ....

WFH being the norm would suck,but companies should be much more accomodating these days.
