so, if a company had offices in NYC and Dallas (just making up an example) -- where the default reaction to masks are the opposite, is'nt the company not taking any stance at all the best option?

What the best option is depends on your perspective, and your goals. Focusing just on the short term bottom line, or being more progressive than the norm for the area, or more conservative could all have different effects.
