Taking the most generous interpretation of this desire: It might just be because management is just not used to fully remote. Most workplaces aren’t healthy and satisfying, they’re somewhat toxic and in many cases incredibly so. The adaptable managers that have a consensus based management style find a way; those that are used to doing things by decree find themselves ineffective in controlling the direction of their reports. Literally the number one priority of leadership is to control the direction of the team; if they’re unable to do so there’s not much else for them to do. Any company seriously considering adapting to the new environment should consider some kind of retraining program for their managers and have a support system that will help them adapt.
