Yeah, this take reads like some corpo shit. The advantages of remote work are many, as you mention. It's a red herring to say people don't want to come back because they don't have their own space.

No commute is a giant plus and pretty much makes any return a deal-breaker.

Being in your own space (not space given to you by your company) is another giant plus.

The fact that I can be in the shower 20 mins before that morning meeting is huge.

There's an attack on remote work right now, funded by all those middle managers who feel like they've lost some of the little power they had. Don't buy into the smear campaign. There's never been a clearer benefit to workers. Hell, many of them even designed the systems in place to make it possible (yes, looking at you Zoom -- now you're a joke).
