Note that what I'm saying is not that most office jobs can't be done remotely at all. What I'm saying is that most can't be done remotely without harming productivity in some way. For example, if someone can do their job entirely by themselves and only needs to periodic check ins to report progress, yes, that person can remotely just fine. If someone works in a closely-knit team where interaction needs to be frequent and someone in that team can't adapt to remote work productivity is going to suffer by having everyone in physically different locations. I don't think it's as simple as "management doesn't want WFH because of a temper tantrum".
