It's not that clear. Plenty of companies are transitioning to full remote. My preferred office enviornment is staying at home.

Commute is time lost that the employer can never make up for, meanwhile the loss of team dynamics/culture from working remote IS something that can be improved.

Of course, the managers/HR need to actually do something about it and make initiatives to preserve such values, but it requires effort on their part.
