You are assuming the business is entirely located in one city or at least region which is rarely the case beyond a certain size. It would also be an argument against function specific offices or locations (eg a NYC sales office) which has been a characteristic of companies for a very long time.

Function specific offices typically only exist for roles that can be done alone. Sales is a great example; it benefits from the competitive atmosphere, but sales people aren’t generally sharing leads or collaborating on deals. That, like engineering, is actually a role that could work just fine WFH.

But many others cannot.
