I don't think the jury is resolved on whether colocation matters for success; if anything, it's more common that the most successful companies are forcing RTO (Apple and Amazon), and I doubt they're making the decision on a whim. Google is ostensibly 3 days/week, and Meta has hinted at better performance for certain categories of people (new grads and new hires) when in-office.

Lots of people live to 100 smoking cigarettes their whole life, but that doesn't make it ideal.
