It's not clearly defined what hybrid means, and there's different interpretation by different people (and companies).
Some may call 2-3 days in an office hybrid. Some may call hybrid when they can choose to go in or not on any day.
One problem i find is that those who do prefer to work in an office don't actually want the office itself, but the office atmosphere - including the hustle and bustle of people. I imagine that they would not prefer office, if they're the only person in the entire floor.
So instead of thinking in terms of hybrid, i would think in terms of face-to-face or audio/cam over-video.

I am often the only person in the office, as I am today, but I like it; the commute is a pleasant half-hour's walk, and I appreciate the clear separation between work and home life. I have a large comfortable desk here, with a killer view of the city; I genuinely prefer this to working from home. (This is convenient because my wife, also a software engineer, strongly prefers the home office.) On the other hand, I once spent seven years working from home before this was a common thing, despite the money I could have saved if I'd moved to the lower-cost-of-living city where company HQ was located, because I just didn't want to. I liked my life as it was, and I couldn't stand the idea of a car commute.
