Many of us find the social life aspect of office work very important to mental health. At my last office job my commute was 90 seconds (literally), and I had an active and healthy social life outside of work. You've created an imagined person whose wants are easier to dismiss.

You may be an outlier but the vast majority of office workers live way farther than 90 seconds from their office. The mental health aspect is something i empathise with but not on my dime. By having to commute to work just so you can socialise with me i am basically paying money out of my pocket. Instead you should be free to be on site and i should be free to be remote and not hear you demand that you need my presence there to help your mental health. Thats selfish, with all due respect.
