I think employers should be open to what works best for each employee. I am currently WFH but I do server work so I do occasionally need to go to the office for configuring or picking up equipment. I would be okay with doing a hybrid option because of that. If I had to go back to the office full time, I would definitely start looking elsewhere.

Pretty much agreed-- I can understand wanting new/junior employees to develop a good track record before complete WFH. But it also seems reasonable to let a new hire that might otherwise have to relocate across the country that level of freedom and simply deal with the issue if they don't produce: not much different than how you'd deal with a new in-person employee.
I will say that, for myself, I understand my work behavior very well. If I could choose any style, it wouldn't be complete WFH. It would be 3 days WFH, 2 days in office. Just a quirk of my personality that I tend to be more focused in the office, and the time I spend there gives me a fairly regimented view of what I need to accomplish during WFH time.
Which is completely what you said: do what worked best for each employee.
