Sure, but these hybrid policies aren't just the result of management wanting to see busybodies typing, but people that still bother to come into the office making small talk like "yeah it's always empty" or "that onsite day was nice, wish my team was here more often". They likely still respect everyone's preference, but management needs to keep everyone happy, so hybrid is the compromise and it allows management to justify their multiple-million-dollar commercial real-estate investments.
