Something I've been thinking about is that your typical rank and file employees work is pretty transparent. I created 6 widgets, I served 4 customers, I wrote 100 lines of code. Middle management that isn't really true, they can mill around and informally talk with people as part of their work. If everyone is remote, middle management's efforts become much more measurable.

This is a good point. What I've noticed for our org is that it's much more apparent which managers are quality and are able to help out their team and more, and which where obviously just filling up their work days with meetings, and meetings about meetings.
I feel that the latter are the type of managers who want everyone back in the office.
I'm going to stay WFH, if my org want to keep me, that will be a requirement. My quality of life has jumped and I'm not moving back to a high COL city just because a manager wants facetime.
