I don't see how that follows unless you're not actually "working" and instead using your time at home as an excuse to not work.

No, it means you'll spend more time in your community naturally. Less time commuting.
You'll spend more time not in the city where your office is, and more time in your local area.
WFH will mean more meaningful connections with the communities in which we live, rather than the communities forced on us by the cities we commute to, and the people who we happened to work with because we passed the same interview.
My mental health was far worse in an office. The drudge of the hours long commute, the dark evenings on the packed commuter trains with only an hour to myself at home before going to sleep and doing it all over again.
It's not for everyone, but it's certainly not a universally bad thing.
