IMO it depends on what WFH was originally sold as in your company.

If you sold it as "we have to do it because local Covid regulations", then you should be able to call them back to the office and fire/fine those who don't comply.

If WFH was "flexibility/improved productivity", then to rescind it you need to be able to show that it isn't delivering on that, which you should be able to do.

I can't speak for tech, in finance it was basically only ever COVID related so almost no one that I know had any issue coming back, and there were some very costly incidents at multiple banks that would never happen in office.
