Lack of engagement is the strongest argument I can think of.
Immersion in problems is a really cheap way for product managers, engineering leads, and data scientists to engage with problems. When you're in office it's easier to get that engagement, thereby getting business-relevant exposure and feedback on your work.
Remote work can also confound lack of skill for communication difficulties (another form of lack of engagement). One of the weakest leads I've ever worked with was remote. He was ineffectual and effectively invisible to execs, except when they wondered why his team wasn't delivering more value.
