it reduces the need to manually update your status, and it also enables co-workers to know that you're at work so that they can coordinate in-person meetings with you.

They're not even trying with these weak ass justifications anymore. Are either of these things an actual problem for anyone?

"Hey are you in the office" works well, too.

But IME if I am, they are just lining up at my door anyway and I can't focus on actual work. At least when I WFH, I can ignore "hey you got a sec?" until I actually do.

"Hey are you in the office" is too much social interaction for the antisocial mindset of techbros it'd seem

My status is permanently set to Away so that people don't bother me with stupid questions like "are you in the office", although for some reason teams randomly resets my status to green every couple of weeks until I notice the increase in stupid questions.
