There is no one size fits all. I’m a believer that office time should be optional. If I was an employer I want to get the most from my people. I want to empower them with the tools they need to get the best work done they can. If that is them working at home. Fine. If it’s having a dedicated space (office) that I pay for. Fine. They are adults and can figure out what works best for them. Why would I as an employer know how best all of my employees can work best.

Individuals may be able to make good decisions for themselves (though, reading this thread, I believe some WFH advocates may just be doing what's convenient, not what makes them happier in the long term), managers need to weigh what's best for the team or the company as a whole. The outcome might be the same, but not necessarily.
