I think there's also a pretty big issue where CEOs can get to an office in 15 minutes, due to probably living in a fancy neighborhood nearby. They may not quite understand how expensive it is to commute or live anywhere near an office.
I'd RTO if somehow I could guarantee being at an office 10-15 minutes.

I'd lose literally dozens of hours of free time per month I currently use on chores, hobbies, naps, and quality time with loved ones. My effective hourly rate (salary / active hours) would plummet. Going remote many years ago has skyrocketed my wealth when you account for time.
