At this point you can really just give a recipe for this type of article.
- business-brain CEO is flailing
- no better justification than "whiteboards" and "personal connection"
- leadership actually lied when they promised to support remote work
- trying to sell a hybrid setup as "balance" rather than half-assed and distracting
And the totally expected outcome which is of course that everyone ignores it, and a couple months later the CEO has to start counting to 3 in a parental tone for the umpteenth time.

If you have <100 software engineers, I feel that being in the office lets you move super fast - conversations with sales folks, support staff, management, investors, etc in a very fast iteration loop. I've experienced this positive hyper communication mode. But... when I think about my current job, where there isn't a single team located 100% in the same office... and certainly not along with most of the people they work with as well... it seems all for show. These execs seem unable to either admit they haven't thought it through, or make the much more radical choice that imo would pay off - relocating everyone to be in the same location to increase communication bandwidth.
