I work there. This is a nice rebuttal I think. Most managers I know don’t actually care whether their directs are in office most days anyways. Personally I can’t wait to be back in office, working alone all days is very depressing and I miss the low-pressure socialization afforded by colocation. Virtual communication has improved, but offers no replacement for this IMO. This is a me thing though, and I certainly get shit done with folks working remote, I just end up knowing them way less.
