I'm also not convinced that there's any real value in having in-person conversations with your coworkers. My colleagues and I regularly meet and converse over both text and video chat, and I really don't see how gathering in a board room would add any more value to those meetings.
Same for me- Instead of 8-4 taking an hour for lunch I'm usually available 8-5 as I have no commute, and only go out for lunch maybe once a week. Much better employee working from home
