What I don't understand is that, at least on the surface, companies save money (utilities, rent, etc.) by having employees work from home. So it seems to me that the only reason companies like Google would mandate the return to offices

Take a beat and write it down. You can try journaling or even brainstorming about the way you feel on a scrap piece of paper, and follow those threads out, unraveling it all out, asking yourself about the things you'd like to be doing
