> otherwise, their hybrid days become "video meetings but in a different building".

The places that I and my friends worked at pre-pandemic were already like this. Meetings were held via videoconferencing even though everyone was in the office, people mostly interacted with each via chat and email, etc.

Same, and it was so dumb. The startup I worked for had an awesome office culture, with snacks, food deliveries, etc. Everybody was in the office unless and people stayed home if they needed to for something. When we got acquired by an older more corporate co, the office was terrible. Nicer looking, but white noise machines, cubicles (roomy and fancy, but still cubicles). The office was out of the way so people started wfh 2 days a week. I was working remotely from the office and ended up asking to go full remote. Also the coffee went from awesome to terrible.
