I do agree with your sentiment I think unfortunately the people who want to work from the office require everyone else to be there too - to make it the office.
I don't begrudge their attitude but hopefully there is just a split in companies between remote companies and on prem companies.
Yes. I strongly suspect that most people who want to go "back to the office" are not really saying that they just want their office workstation back so they don't need to work in their bedroom or kitchen table (though some are). Rather, they want to be back with their colleagues and if their colleagues mostly aren't there, they're not really going to be satisfied.
That's my impression too. People talking about the benefits of the office are actually complaining of not having everyone around (either to have social aspect or to what they call "casual collaboration" which reduces to being able to interrupt at any time.
