I believe the parent comment was referring to actual material problems with work tasks, not a lack of "evolution," nor a theoretical obsolescence of the overwhelmingly dominant form of workplace organization.
On the flip side, when your entire company works from offices, you develop a culture of acting like there is no better choice, and the resistance to change outweighs its obsoletence, causing people to not fight very hard to evolve the workplace, and to accept offices longer than they should.
