For a lot of firms, it seems like the question is more of a test of leadership's insecurity than anything else. They feel like they don't have control without bodies they can see doing things. The company I work for was bought by a huge, old, conservative company. Which sold its HQ last year, because after 2 years remote they determined that a large majority of the ~70k employees can work from home. We still have offices, but they're either for specific groups or are mostly executive playgrounds and meeting space. It takes a certain amount of confidence in structures and staff from leadership. I think we're starting to see which other firms have confident leaders.
