sense of community between you and your coworkers, which is a very real and normal thing

No it fucking ain't.

Forcing people together doesn't create community, it creates stress, and resentment, and burnout, and migraines.

“Workplace community.”

Biggest oxymoron I've ever seen since military intelligence.

ALSO miss the sense of community with my coworkers which I used to get from lunches together, sharing the train ride home, or just working side by side at our desks

Oh, you're one of those fucking extroverts.

I can't begin to imagine the extent to which your poor coworkers must have despised you while you constantly bothered them while they tried to work, or have a quick decompressing lunch, or disconnect after a long day of work during the train ride home, the poor bastards. As if work wasn't bad enough by itself.

Imagine being this vitriolic in response to someone's personal anecdote.

The person you responded to said they did find a sense of community like the study describes. Nowhere in there did they argue that anyone should be forced to go back to an office nor even that an office spot be made available to people.

if you hear the shit coworkers talk behind peoples back, you really dont want to interact with them most of the time, its just to save face by being nice, eventhough coworkers might not want to talk to you, someone like op might be annoying to them for whatever reason.
