I think you missed the point. It isn't the CEO who cares about the specific building they're in. It's people like the Blackrock CEO on who massive amounts of investors (and by extension your retirement portfolio) depend on. Or the people who own the newspapers depending on a healthy economy, of which a huge percentage is commercial real estate. Or, as GP said, these basically-oligarchs that sit on a few boards and can steer CEOs to make nonsensical return-to-office plans to advance their investment strategies and view of how the world should work. It's a lot bigger than a single tenant in a single office.
