Part of what makes that frustrating is that we all know they aren't being honest with their reasons. Most of us were fine working from home when it wasn't safe to come in, so that's BS.
It just feels like they have to justify managers and rent.
Most people that are given the choice about how often or even if they come in seem much happier doing so than people that are forced to come in. But these doofuses don't understand that.

That's definitely true. I also think it's the "corporate logic" that if you aren't physically watching your employees, they won't get any work done. This is hilarious to me because I've learned it is INSANELY easy to pretend like you're getting work done and they won't even notice.

A big part of that is because most of us can get our work done in less time than we're given to do it.
Our incentives change when working from home, so instead of just figuring out how to stretch out 40 hours of work--where there's very little reward for getting done early, now we're trying to get it done as quickly as possible so we can enjoy the rest of our time 🤷♂️
