> I love having lunch with co-workers. It’s a great way to connect.

it is, but some people who prefer the remote world do so because they don't need nor want to socialize with their coworkers.

I love that I get to work from home [1], yet I still get together with some coworkers for lunch once a week. Yes, we don't work for the same department, but we used to regularly go out for lunch before the pandemic. It also doesn't hurt that we all live closer to each other than we do the office.

[1] I "work" from the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida office. My manager is in Tampla, Florida, and my two other team members are in Reston, Virginia and Seattle, Washington [2]. There's a push from upper management to get people back in the office in May, but there's no way I'm going in. No point to it.

[2] Due to our company being bought out by a larger company, and the rest of my team basically retiring at the end of 2020.
