I just interviewed for a position I thought I was well suited for. Everything went well until we discussed working remotely. They said the job must be performed on-site. If their offices were within a 25-mile radius, I’d be happy to commute. However, I’m not going to sell my house, uproot my family and move to another state for a below market salary. I just don’t understand why employers insist on facetime at the office. The pandemic already proved that employees can be productive from home.

Truth! I worked from home in my most recent job for three years, never missed a deadline.

I would say you've dodged a bullet. Inisisting on full on-site working demonstrates a highly blinkered & non-innovative attitude which will touch all other aspects of the job. Essentially - unless it's a physical job, such as fireman, insisting on 5 days in is nothing more than an attempt to control. They are likely to be micro-managers which as we all know destroys morale and productivity faster than anything.
