Junior team members, the ones that are supposedly most eager to come to the office, are working from home more than the allowed maximum.

Ha, I've seen the same thing. I have two junior-ish reports, and when we started the discussion of eventual return to office last year they both said they would be in all the time to soak up the team building and culture establishment they missed out on. We returned to voluntary office work for those that wanted it three months ago and neither one has made it in a single day, they have stayed full remote (and they get their work done so I couldn't care less.)

Have you asked them why they ultimately didn't value going back to the office? Not to convince, just to understand.

At least in my case, they got really good at working from home despite being junior. Not surprising as most of these engineers didn't develop office habits so they don't miss them. They like the office okay, but it's just too convenient and time efficient to stay home getting stuff done.
