But these employees aren't meeting the bare minimum, which they apparently agreed to (as opposed to it being dictated to them).

Not sure you really understand the Office Space scene, it's entirely different. It's not funny if Jennifer Aniston was wearing only 3 pieces of flair and she was being reprimanded for not meeting the minimum. The humor comes from the fact that she was meeting the minimum of 15 (which she obviously thought was way too much), and the boss was still making her feel guilty about it.

Coerced into agreeing, perhaps. I cannot pretend for a moment that the playing field is level here.
Perhaps. However even in a worst-case scenario, the company simply mandating that employees must spend 2 days in office, on-site... some employees aren't doing it. And if 3 days at home aren't enough for you and you won't show up twice a week, I'm guessing the company won't miss you too much after they fire you.
