Allow me to be rude: humans are social animals BUT the way we socialize have evolved all the time. In the present world just phones have deeply changed the socialization and social rules, mobile phones have deeply changed humanity again. WFH is definitively not so new, but it's application at a certain scale is.
Offices are not new, but in the modern sense are a relatively new thing in historic terms. Thinking they are here to stay forever is not different than thinking carriage and horses would be a logistic tool forever, stearic candles a way to light up homes forever etc.
WFH now have some issue, MUCH of them due to the crappy ignorance of most who do not know how an IT infra should be to WFH, so pushing people with crappy collaboration platforms, remote desktop tools etc, but such crappy model will not last more than 5-8 years. People will learn enough. Social structures for easy coordination and communication will show up the few years, as well as the "separation concept" from work cohort and neighbor/friends cohort. Not tomorrow, not so easy, but it will happen as always in history habits have changed following technology and current needs.
