What I've heard is that most of the pressure to return to the office is coming from managers rather than owners themselves. Without a physical office they basically serve no function and the employees largely self-regulate.

Working from home opens up the possibility of working multiple jobs (i.e. not being dependent on a specific employer's), makes it easier to switch jobs (you can do a virtual interview from home, but not really from the office), and takes away a big piece of your employer's control over your time. On top of that, like >>2189156 said, it makes middle managers worry about their job security, and lowers the value of office buildings. But still, yes, employers do have an opinion that office workers had it too good during the pandemic, and they want to reassert their power.

Because working from home just means loafing around. Even more so than at the office.

"Work" from home is an oxymoron

Do you have any idea how much money corporations spend on corporate real estate? They pay rent for those offices and they want their money’s worth no matter how little sense it makes

And yet productivity is higher at home still, just goes to show how absurd an 8 hour workday is for anyone who isn’t doing hard labor

Ring a ding ding. There’s the answer OP needed

Yeah. I don’t care what everyone else here says. The only viable and long lasting reason to force people to work in offices is mainly for real estate. That and for the sake of keeping certain information and assets private and protected by the company.
