I don't think many people are ascribing it to maliciousness. What it looks like to me is a combination of two things:

1) Working in an office full of people is what they personally prefer, and

2) They have large investments in physical infrastructure that they need to use.

> 1) Working in an office full of people is what they personally prefer

Why does it matter what leadership prefers/why do they prefer it if 80% of their employees are saying "I'd rather work from home / going into the office in inconvenient for me / I'm just as productive at home"?

It shouldn't matter. But it does matter because ultimately, they're the ones with the decisionmaking power.
