You are not the only one, but I think that most of of your stated reasons are superficial, you can play games and have fun with your real friends or passionate players (as in, most of the cases, the coworkers are just colleagues, a relationship that will end at rehire).
Don't get me wrong, I worked in gaming studios, we had all these things too, my commute was 20min, but others are not so lucky. Maybe they have lame offices, bad karma and a long expensive commute.
I think that chitchat and knowledge sharing can be done trough calls also, I guess it depends on the people.
Also I found that some teams (and other companies as-well, that do not allow remote and make billions of $), are more productive onsite. We had to respond and pivot quickly, you cannot do these with a timezone difference.
And most of the people I know, that are not used to remote, they would be a lot less productive without their boss in the room.
From all the articles I read I think that best remote teams can be more productive than best on site ones, but most of the onsite teams are more productive than most remote ones. And I mean general mixed teams, not all of them being developers writing code in their bubble.
