I don’t think its evangelical as much as protective.
I for one have had to endure grueling years of working in open office environments. I’ve got pretty severe adhd and anxiety, that’s not a good place for me.
With covid, the world shifted to working how I prefer. I’m terrified it’ll go back to how it was.
So I’m sorry it’s been a rough couple years for you, but please understand that it’s been a rough lifetime for people like me.
Because office work is still the default mentality for most people, this new world that’s aligned to my needs is in constant jeopardy.
If people like being in the office, fine. I don't understand it, but that's okay. I have ADHD and have a large startle reflex - I hate open plan offices, I dislike commuting, and I get more done from home.
If the office people stop trying to force me into the office with them, we can get along. Otherwise, no. For once in my life I can work in an environment that works for me. I'm not going to let some extrovert ruin it if I can avoid it.
Personally, I’m glad that people who like WFH have increased opportunities to do it now, so long as I never have to do it again myself. Worst two years of my life.
