Only reasons I can think of is as follows.
- Someone in the CEO's direct reports is tasked with making a decision.
- They start a survey on how satisfied the managers are on the work performance.
- The survey does not go to individual employees.
- Rightfully, the survey results wildly support return-to-office.
- Decision is made.
Some other company may decide to be data driven, and use metrics which may or may not fully reflect the tradeoffs between work-from-home vs. office.
Or, the top leader makes the decision for the rest of the company. No questions allowed.

Agree. This should be the way.
