WFH may be better for the environment but that is a different thing than "the best way of working".

I've been remote for 14 years, I love it, but I've worked with plenty of people who didn't and went back to an office.

Define "best" I suppose - best for corporate efficiency or best for human thriving? But yeah fair can't argue that it relates to efficiency.

The entire concept of capitalist "work" is in opposition to human thriving

I've seen this level of reasonability probably less than 10 times when the remote vs. office debate breaks out. It's a real shame that sites like HN behave identically to twitter and reddit wrt actual conversation and debate about working environments.
