I question those studies. It's way easier to get someone's attention in office than emailing them 3-4x. Additionally teamwork definitely increases when you work face to face at least sometimes.
There has been enough study on the subject that for jobs that lend themselves to the work from home model, it absolutely does increase productivity.
I do think there should be an option to work in office for those who can't work from home for personal reasons.
While that's currently true, I'm extremely curious to see the trends after 10-20 years. Does it stay productive or do problems start cropping up. My current job is strongly requested to be in-person once per week, but otherwise WFH. The occasional in-office definitely helps new hires and such, and I would not be surprised if jobs start moving towards a "wfh except once per week (or two weeks)" ordeal.
