Governments are greedy. They want more tax revenue and the power huge budgets convey. Efficient use of resources is only lip service, making good talking points when getting elected. Work from home denies the governments fares and taxes for the rail system to commute to the city, property tax from the fancy offices in the commercial center, sales tax from the shops and restaurants feeding the workers at the commercial centers, sales taxes and certification fees from childcare centers, etc.
