The real reason behind RTO is the management needs of a soviet-alike economy in cities now, and tomorrow a slave-based service economy.
The today need is the fact that offices keeps up many related activities, as a proof look at https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/01/20/bowser-biden-federal-workers-washington-dc-00078677 https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/01/20/bowser-bid... who have no economical meaning for the society but are the sole activity of many people, like soviet adage of digging holes today, fill tomorrow and dig again to state there is no unemployment issue.
The tomorrow need is well depicted by https://www.forbes.com/sites/worldeconomicforum/2016/11/10/shopping-i-cant-really-remember-what-that-is-or-how-differently-well-live-in-2030/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/worldeconomicforum/2016/11/10/s... witch means "how to make people owning nothing?" well, living in an expensive high-density city means need to earn much just to pay their cubicle-based life. More inflation, more people seeking owning less to spend less, so are more reliant on third party services. Cars too expensive? Well, go for the public transport. Homes too expensive? Go for smaller and smaller apartments. Not enough room to store and cook food? Go for ready made food, possibly delivered directly to you. No room for a washing machine? Go for public washing machines services and so on. In the end: people living a stressful life not to live but to pay services, without enough time to think, but with a vague idea of having still much thanks for the availability of such services.
Both today's and tomorrow needs of such small cohort of humans who profit form pasturing the masses can't be satisfied if people start to spread. In a mild density living economy is mostly made by SME, not much by giants with few exceptions possible, and people own, know the value of owning, so have enough asset backups behind their back to be not so easy to steer using the genital garrota of the economy.
