I work for a fully-remote company and a number of our engineers choose to work from coworking spaces like WeWork. It's entirely their decision and I guess they miss the atmosphere and social interaction of an office.

Or they have kids (or spouses) too immature to respect the sanctity of the home office during working hours.

Not everyone has a home with a dedicated space to put a home office, either. When you have to work out of your bedroom, a distinct office away from home quickly becomes useful. Not every problem with remote work and distractions is a result of personality flaws.

Having previously worked at home for 5 years consecutively, I can confirm that it's entirely this.

And do they rent a private office or a 30-seat conference room with 29 other people already in it?

I don't know for sure but when I have met with them on zoom it sure doesn't seem private.
