> incompetent management trying to own and control me and/or being ineffective at managing distributed/asynchronous teams, We are looking at the same thing but through different lenses. It is true that most of the current management layers are inept at managing remote workforce effectively. But they are capable of managing an in-office workforce - that's how they got promoted in their positions in the first place (mostly). Guess what is easier decision for the decision makers - change their own skillset and habits, or force everyone back to office?
