Pretty much the reason in my case. I like being in an office itself well enough, but mainly just don't like packed-in seating arrangements. If things were spaced out more and I had the feeling of more personal space, it could feel completely different. I don't generally have a problem focusing in a busy cafe for example.

But after years of WFH I've found I can't easily go back to work in that stress-inducing (for me) environment anymore. I've tried and couldn't make it more than a couple days. My coping skills have atrophied. I'd say it's even worse now with hybrid and online meetings or discussions from desks at the office.

Guess I'm lucky I still have a choice, but I'd jump at the chance of my own private office.
