I am in the fortunate position where both my wife and myself work from home.

It has been an incredible privilege being able to spend quality time with the person I care for the most without the pressure to optimize what little precious time I have outside of work.

e.g., being able to have lunch together, or just taking a quick break to check in on each other's lives.

Would so much rather have this than sitting in a cubicle or forcibly socializing with people who are acquaintences at best (maybe the introvert in me speaking).

Yes, there are some folks who need the social interaction. There are also those who prefer quality interactions over quantity.

A million times this! I feel like I unlocked so much productivity and energy levels to work out and be healthy whereas before the soul crushing commute and open office plan made me feel on edge when trying to be in a flow state and had me drained at the end of the day. I can’t imagine going back to the office just to talk to work acquaintances that are busy with kids and their own lives.
