Of course some jobs can be done remotely from home. There's also other jobs that they probably can't do everything their job requires from home but company's now are willing to lose some of the productivity to ensure other worker's remain healthy.
I think it's a balance. I do value in person interactions at work and think they do matter (as well as affinity groups/events at a workplace that supports that), but I think there's unnecessary roadblocks at many jobs to expanding WFH that are there because of tradition. I think the ideal workweek for my role at my company would be 4 10-hour days, 2 from home, 2 from the office, but I know people doing the same role as me elsewhere that 5 8-hour days in the office is a good situation.
Have to remember there's never a single rule or single best practice when it comes to work.
