This is where I've seen things be annoying. I want to work during "normal" business hours. I do not want to do any work in the evenings. That is my work/life balance.
But if I need to have a meeting with someone who does all their shopping mid-day to avoid the evening crowds, their attempt at improving their work/life balance is negatively affecting mine.
I do prefer an office*, but my issue with wfh isn't so much the "home" aspect as the inevitable result of "I'll put in 8 hours today, but no guarantees when it will be", which definitely costs productivity.
* for collaboration, socialization, even just to get out of my home.
