Whatever people think of Myers-Briggs, the three I’ve been involved with the managers were always the extroverts.

So your choice is WFH micromanaging or keeping that seat in the cube warm.

Introversion/extroversion isn't a distinctive feature of Myers-Briggs - it shows up in more scientifically-respectable personality measures, like the five-factor (OCEAN) model.

Isn't it the very first letter?!

Yes, it features prominently in the MBTI, but my point is that "Whatever people think of Myers-Briggs [my experience is that extroversion is important]" doesn't make a lot of sense because introversion/extroversion is a widely-accepted concept that the MBTI uses, not a concept that comes from the MBTI.

I mean, Myers-Briggs is bollocks anyway so we shouldn't be using it for anything but funsies.

I have a dream that one day we will shit hard on that sort of stuff instead of validating it. See also "alpha male".

I don't understand the dichiotomy you're setting up here.

Can't WFH work without micromanagement?

At least I can say that I never felt more free than during the work from home phase in the pandemic.

I guess the point of that post is that the same type of managers who want to keep the cube seat warm are the same type of managers who'll want to micromanage WFH; switching to remote won't change their desires and expectations.
