I think a big part of managers' opposition to remote work is that they want more control or at least the appearance of control over the employees. It begins with being able to control other people to come to the office. Now if you can force them to come to the office, then you might give some of them a treat of working from home say one day a week. They will have to try to please you or you might take such privilege away. It sounds crazy but I assume based on some experience that there are many people who simply enjoy being able to boss other people around, to make others please you. Many managers simply desire power over others because it gives them a real or perceived benefit. It may not be good for the company, but it can be good for the boss.
