> In-person work has higher bandwidth and lower latency than remote work, so for certain roles it makes sense you wouldn't want to farm it out to remote workers

This is just not true. Specially if your team exists within an organization that works in world wide solutions and interacts with the rest of the world.

Remote can be so much faster and efficient because it's decentralized by nature and it can make everyone's workflows as optimized as possible.

Just because companies push for "onsite" work to justify their downtown real estate doesn't mean it's more productive.

That is like saying concurrent programming is far superior to sequential programming so lets stop doing sequential programming completely. Many tasks are just easier to do in a centralized environment.
I didn't propose forcing remote work. I simply countered faulty arguments in favor of onsite.

Your analogy with programming makes little sense and distracts. It's better to discuss the actual point.
