For me it's that I don't want to socialize in the workplace. I need that space for money, which is why I want to know as little as possible about anyone else there.

Which then makes the daily commute essentially all this time that keeps me from being with people I actually want to be with like my partner.

Couple all of that to the observation that ultimately in the tech world its a lot of work just to move me from sitting in front of one desk to sitting in front of another, and its really hard to muster much enthusiasm for the alleged benefits of being in an office - particularly when I can supply better and more ergonomic hardware and software for myself.
