Pardon me for the low effort post, but... Duh.

I mean, what did people think would be the ultimate result of fully dematerialized, depersonalized, delocalized remote first company? Obviously there needs to be a certain rhythm of human interactions as a foundation to build remote interactions on.

At $WORK that's one week in presence with your remote team when you join, followed by one week every six months in the presence of the whole engineering team, at minimum. Exceptions to this policy are... exceptional.
