So employers get a productivity boost and cost savings if they sacrifice their employee's mental health? I'd love to believe we live in a world where that would stop them.

I mean, the technology industry (especially FAANG) aren’t exactly known for sacrificing long-term growth for the sake of short-term penny-pinching in the context of employee happiness.

Any company that (pre-COVID) had a proclivity to sacrifice short-term profits by providing free food and other generous onsite perks is probably also a company that might choose to scrap plans to cut back on offices if doing so has a positive impact on their employees’ mental health.
