>I don't think anyone arguing for WFH is really advocating fully-remote for all

In general I think that's true.

However, the flip side is you have people who want to go into a 2019 office. And they're going in and finding a ghost town. And at least some of them think it's the responsibility of their coworkers to fix that even if they're getting their jobs done perfectly well from somewhere remote.

100% believe these people do exist, but I've not met one. I'd love to go into a 2019 office, but I've accepted the impracticality of that expectation and so has anyone similarly-minded that I've encountered.

Well, you see some people on this very thread. But I agree. Most reasonable people recognize that a 2019 office dynamic may be dead forever at many places. I expect that most accept that reality if they otherwise like the company. (I know a fair number of people in that category.) Or they seek out companies that are much more committed to people coming into an office.
