The last time I brought this up when we were expanding our pool to include remote, the response I got was: "Yeah, but then we lose all the face-to-face benefits."
I wonder if I should challenge what these perceived benefits are.
There are definitely face to face benefits, so I wouldn't recommend pursuing the route of arguing that there isn't. Rather, arguing that working remotely also has benefits, that there are tradeoffs, and that the gains from remote working can outweigh the losses from no face to face time.
