>As a human being you should be looking to interact and socialize with other humans, in person, as well - this makes us better humans, more empathetic, more understanding to the needs and pains of others.
I don't disagree. But your assumption is that you would have less social interaction WFH is wrong (at least in my case).
My current commute is 2.5 hours a day. WFH would give me an additional time to do different activities each day (most with other people). Currently I'm limited because my preferred activities, I won't get home till close to midnight.
Having that commute time cut to zero would allow me to pursue my interests and have more social interaction than I currently do going into the office each day.
I went from around 2.5 hours or more each way for a commute to working from home. I socialize less now. Work accounted for the majority of my daily socializing. I have three kids and a wife. My returned time is spent with them (I don't consider this under socializing) or on hobbies.
