"...examined a sample of firms on the S&P 500 list—137 of which had RTO mandates and 320 that clearly did not between June 2019 and January 2023."

There are samples of both types of RTO policies in the study. So the study itself deals with the supposed bias in your question.

"Overall, the analysis, released as a pre-print, found that RTO mandates did not improve a firm's financial metrics, but they did decrease employee satisfaction."

Though I cannot speak to the quality of the study or its conclusion, because the damn crap is behind a login/paywall.
