It seems like the vast majority of people are coming at this from the standpoint of "I know how to do my job, why do I need to be an office". This may be unpopular but you do it for the new people who need a Lot of company support to get on their feet. I remember starting out and how much easier it was to ask people questions in person over lunch etc. It's intimidating for a new person to sit in front of a computer and ask random people they've never met questions, really amps that imposter syndrome.
Yes I worked the last two years at University and the offices were empty almost constantly. I just didn't get any connections to anyone and didn't even know if the people could help my cause, since everyone had different projects and you just didn't know what they are actually working on
