Sitting in an open office layout gives me a sense of disloyalty to my employer because it's just plain disrespectful to not see daylight the whole day and sit in a noisy and dull environment.
I have worked with a purely remote company for a few years and I would have stayed with them forever if the business had actually worked out. Interestingly I collaborated and talked to my remote colleagues much more than I do now in the open office.
Obviously, to each his own. Some people like the office and some people like remote.
I would go farther saying being in person is by its very nature, old school. It predates technology. The more real things become via remote, the less it makes any sense at all to argue the contrary.
