I think there is merit to the point that the "forced" social interaction (of the office) is what makes (a lot of) people even have social interactions at all. For example, it was easier to make friends in school and college because of forced interaction; similarly, anecdotally I see a lot of friendships made among coworkers of mine, some of them became groomsmen/bridesmaids for each other at their weddings.

Having said that, I'm not one of those folks, and I actually agree with your points and I am 100% for remote. I am at a remote role right now and could not be happier.
