The office is an important persuasion technique. There's a reason why the CEO has a fancy office with a beautiful view that you have to go past 3 tiers of security/admins to get to. It sends a signal to everyone that they should respect this person. It's the same reason you have a shitty low walled cube that you share with 3 other people. It's harder to have that same visual persuasion if the CEO is wearing jeans and a tshirt in his living room on a Zoom meeting.

I think social status signaling still carries over in the age of remote:
CEO (high status) - well lit, high quality camera view of a spacious home with tasteful artwork.
Peon (low status) - dark, lit from above view from a webcam aimed up their nose and background replacement to keep people from seeing the closet they are working from.
