Some people do want basically a co-working space that isn't their house/studio apartment. But, for a lot of people, even an "OK" commute that lands them at a desk near maybe one or two people they work with, possibly in a hoteling arrangement, isn't really that attractive. And, with underutilized offices, amenities--such as they are--are going to get pulled back as well.
What you're ending up with is that neither the people who want to be remote nor the people who were OK with going in specifically for pre-pandemic office are interested in going in. I'm not sure how well hybrid works and there will probably be some shifting around as a result.
