I think they only use point 1 as an excuse. If you remove people from the office you can save a lot of ad-hoc costs immediately. You pay less for coffee. You can save on heating. You can probably also save on cleaning costs if you concentrate the remaining employees into certain floors.
I have definitely seen companies cut their losses before. If you remove all these points and only keep 1, most companies would shift to remote regardless of their real estate.
