>All things being equal, if a person works remotely, apparently they're more likely to trend reclusive.

The existence of families and housemates reveals this to be a false dichotomy: either you're spending in-office time with coworkers or you don't like being around any people, seems to be the claim.

Part of the study specifies remote workers living alone. So it appears the focus of the study excludes those fortunate enough to have family or housemates.

But I do agree that the claim being made is the false dichotomy you point out

Maybe the difference is what can happen passively going to a workplace, vs you get the life you design, learn, plan and execute on.
