I was allowed and occasionally worked from home before pandemic. I have an excellent technical setup and separate room for my home office.
But now, almost one year later, I want to go back to the office.
I certainly felt less stressed and more happy when I could enjoy the change in environment and having some in-person social interactions.
Working from home makes me loose the feeling that I'm part of something and the job I liked a lot becomes just "a job".
This is probably not universal, since each company is different, with different traditions. Maybe some people are relieved that they won't have to step into the office ever again. :)
