Also, a lazy worker at home will be lazy in an office too.

If someone likes to procrastinate, you can't really change that via environment alone.

Unfortunately, leadership positions tend to be mostly interactions with others by forming working relationships and establishing trust so they see skilled workers who are avoiding work by chatting about non-work stuff to be productive team building even when done to excess. So they consider that not being lazy even if it is when done to excess for that particular position.

Can't talk about sports teams and 'team build' in the same way when working at home in their eyes.

I think it’s because they can’t pull people into their office and give them illegal or unethical tasks off the record. Slack and email all leave a paper trail.

Ugh. The number of vacuous conversations endured/overheard in offices about sports. And the insufferable adages, analogies and idiotic motivational speeches comparing sports and wage slavery. Where's my fucking stapler?

Setting aside how fucking stupid it is to think that way, people can still talk about stuff like that. In fact, they can now do it without even having to leave their PC!

No logic here beyond a bunch of loser control freaks missing their completely unnecessary micromanaging.
