But what's the point of being at the office? I can get the same at home

Personally I find home more distracting than the office. The office is a clean work space with a desk with only my work computer and work stuff and everybody around me is also working.
Home has chores and errands and 'fun' and all kinds of other Not Work stuff to tempt me away from working. Plus once my kids come home from school, quiet concentration time is effectively over.
But as I said, I'm not advocating for mandatory return to office, and I do work at home 1-2 days a week.

It's funny how serving one's employer has become the highest duty.
Work not done? After-hours issue? Then work overtime. Kids are home? Go to the office to avoid being distracted from work.
