Because if companies decide that in office is more productive or more reliable, remote options will dry up. And the fact most big tech companies are going back to office suggests they have the data to show it is more effective.

Are you sure it's data driven or perception?

Does it matter? The end result is the same. Plenty of big problems in the world are based only on perceptions.

"Because X is done like this, then Y should also be done like this."

Cannot see any fault in this argument.

And no, the end result is not the same if in reality one is more productive then the other.

Could it not also suggest they have significant real estate holdings?

Where is the data? If this is true, then this is something companies will have to learn to deal with, and compensate differently for. If I enjoy working from home better, but am 10% less productive, please pay me 10% less. It's still not worth for me to show up to an office.
