Work from home makes it even better than listening to coworkers trying to chat you up when you are working. You can have “human contact” with them on optional outings with the team. A coworker isn’t a friend, it’s a colleague. They won’t stand up for you when you get treated unfairly at work, they won’t risk their job to save yours. So unless your “human contact” includes inappropriate stuff, I don’t see any benefit to it over staying home with the family you love, cuddling pets and skipping a long daily commute.
