The #1 reason everybody gives for "RTO" is "to improve collaboration." It seems like having hot desks if implemented properly could MAYBE actually help facilitate that. Let teams get areas (or, gasp, dedicated OFFICES) where they can sit together when they coordinate for in-office collaboration time. Let people move around to shoulder surf or pair code when they want to. Having hot desks with a hybrid office model makes much more sense rather than having people go in to a 3/5ths full office and try to ignore the distractions. If you want to put headphones in, nose down, and get into flow that is the beauty of WFH. Unless you have a REALLY unconducive home environment to that - which I know some who do but the majority have very well optimized home setups that allow them to focus without distraction.
