By tools I meant for collaborating, not replacing humans. I'm not some robot who just wants to sit head down because I'm terrible at socializing. I do enjoy being in the office to see faces, but I also have realized this not a very strong argument for having every company be so resisting to remote work.

And as I stated you can replace this in other ways. Because you're home you may end up at a gym or coffee shop or group bike rides more often. That gives you a different form of social interaction in the day to day to replace "water cooler" talk.
