It could be they really believe that. But it is often one of these real reasons:
1) They want some people to quit, but they don't want to lay them off explicitly to avoid looking bad. The idea being some employees won't relocate or enjoy driving to the office every day so they'll just leave.
2) They think people are lazy and don't work when they are at home. So they want them in the office to supervise them.
3) It makes them feel important walking around and seeing all their subordinates right there in one place. Sometimes it is just as simple as that.
