Rules at my current job asked for 20% of the time in the office, on average. Most people are just plain deserting, as in just not showing up (me included). The net effect is: stuff is getting done anyway and people that like going to the office have a better time because it's not crowded. We (my team and me) sometimes decide to meet at the office but don't have to wander around looking for an empty meeting room. So to sum up: yes, rules are arbitrarily made up.
