I work at a big company that is remote only and productivity is high. Might it be that they actually thought about how to implement it and kept improving the tools and processes needed?

How did you measure productivity?

It's a personal view obviously. But teams are shipping way more than some startups I worked at, including things customers really want. We have quarterly meetups and a myriad of events to keep the human connection too. No full-time-open-office-all-in-the-same-room-serendipity I've seen in other companies was actually valuable. It's just that it was the only way people knew to work, until companies were ready to go remote. 10 years ago we didn't have the tools.
