EtA: moved to a question: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/zAwx3ZTaX7muvfMrL/why-do-we-have-offices

Why do we have offices?

They seem expensive, and not useful for jobs that can apparently be done remotely.

Hypotheses:

Social presence of other people working: https://www.focusmate.com/
Accountability
High bandwidth communication
Meta communication (knowing who's available to talk to)
Status quo bias

status: to integrate
