I guess it’s possible. It just seems a reach for people to think that’s the /only/ reason.
Honestly. I think people would be more successful if they actually tried to understand some of the nuance and understand what things are better in person than remote. Then try to solve for those things, rather than just saying “remote is better in every way” like everyone seems to think.
That’s going to be highly dependent on the work done and the structure of the company. Even then, it is also about demonstrating power. I work in IT where our datacenters are in different states, and we work more and more with cloud infrastructure. Even when I’m in the office I’m working remotely. We don’t see clients. Our teams are scattered across the country, hell my manager lives in another state. So even in the office the people part of it is still done remotely. There is zero reason to be in the office for us.

Totally fair in many environments for sure.
