Before COVID, I worked for an international company, with people from various countries often working in the same team together. It happened that in my team, I was the only guy from my country. So whenever I needed to talk to my teammates, I had to make a call. And yet, it seemed very important for the managers that I come every day to the office and make those calls from there, rather than from my home. They couldn't make even the excuse about people being in the same room, because we obviously were not. But if you make the rules, you do not really need an excuse. Then COVID came, and impossible things became possible overnight. Now they are gradually becoming impossible again. Except that more people are pissed off, because they remember that it used to be possible.
