Collaboration increases productivity and building new offices continuously is not the only way to increase collaboration, specially for the kind of work that SV companies does. I think from that perspective the OPs post bears merit. However it is also a matter of job security and if you don’t have to go to an office physically you may feel insecure inside ....

That's true, I think a lot more can be done for the WFH perspective. If companies offered all employees a good home setup, good desk, chair, screen, keyboard, mouse, headphones, good mic, good webcam, a good whiteboarding solution as well like maybe an iPad + pencil. And there was an app allowing remote share, remote control, remote whiteboard, and subsidize cost of a good internet. I feel I'd be even more productive at home with all that in place.
We've been looking into this lately, and settled on iPad Pro + Pencil + Explain Everything as a remote meeting and whiteboarding solution. It seems promising so far. Miro is another software option that seems pretty polished, although we haven't tried it yet.

Hopefully someone with more experience can share more tips on what has worked well for them.
