They're getting rid of real estate yet force people to work from the office at least n days a week. Why not embrace remote and get rid of even more real estate.

Company I work for did this. Our CFO said he never wants to deal with real estate again. I will follow this man to the depths of hell and back.
No you won’t. You’ll be behind your keyboard on a beach while he goes to hell and back.
Speaking from experience: You can work your ass off from a beach. If anything, I'm more likely to do so
(virtually)
Video call into the depths of hell
What happens when he does something you don't like? Perhaps everyone back in the office? Or camera on all day while you work?
Then you quit? I don't understand this question.

I suspect the real reason for this is to make job hopping harder, and improve the employer bargaining position.
