The parent comment isn't comparing fully remote with fully in the office. The issue they see (and discussed in the linked twitter thread) is in a company with some office, and some remote, remote workers will be left out from activities that take place in the office, and those physically present will do better career-wise.

The parent isn't, but considering the full range of options is still a useful discussion to have, which is why I added my comment. It all comes down to money. The twitter thread prophesied losing all of your best talent in a half office / half remote setup. Your best, most skilled talent sticks around first and foremost for their premium compensation, above all other factors.
If no competitive edge is present, it is wasted spending that could be redirected into more fruitful efforts: growing R&D, etc.
