You'd have to prove the oxytocin gain on net is higher than the overall return produced by having the flexibility to work remotely.

This isn't a zero-sum exchange, and I personally am not convinced it is positive in-person. Rather, remote work with frequent travel-based interaction, paid for by closing offices where possible and renting space where not, seems to be a better return, from what I've seen.
