There are some very valid reasons why it should be encouraged to work from the office, and yea they do include productive hard work, I’ve heard this first hand from both bosses working in big and small companies and from employees. The group that appreciates work from office and has noticeable productivity improvement is new recruits and fresh grads that move to get a job, as they need new friends, and if there’s no office culture and work colleagues to have lunch with or at least the occasional AW, then they get lonely, unproductive and they eventually leave. For older more mature people who have families it’s an amazing gift to be able to work from home, for some it absolutely isn’t. The point is that you can decide how to run things in your company and try to be flexible.

It is true in my opinion, but most bosses I heard just think employees are cheating their work and this is something I do not agree. I've worked for a company who had to go full remote due to covid and productivity increase a lot because people were not being bothered by senseless interruptions and calls. When asked why move back to the office in a meeting where people could ask "anything", the CEO just said he doesn't believe in working from home and he does not want that for the company but provided zero reasons for his beliefs. :/ Also commuting is such a pain that it makes me feel depressed. I took about 2h each leg and sometimes it was even worse. I usually get so much earlier in the office to avoid not being late and I had to simply not do anything as I could never leaver earlier too :(
