Maybe, but I also think a lot of remote workers are almost getting to the point where they don't want to work with people, but an automated system that brings them work to perform that they later submit to the system.

You don't need to pretend to be interested in a sports team or fake sympathy if a coworker's kid gets sick. Your employer may be a cog, but so are your coworkers. So coworkers treat each other like cogs or NPC's because that is all they are now.
