All of this changes when you consider your commute on the clock.

I've been doing this since RTO 3-days a week and it really helps. I've already proven that I can work from home without issue, so heading into the office definitely isn't for my benefit - it's effort that I apply for the benefit of my employer, something they've even admitted by saying working from the office allows for "spontaneous collaboration and increased efficiency". As it's for their benefit (and also a detriment for me) then they can pay me for the time I spend doing it.

If they don't like it then they can let me WFH.

They can also fire you lol

They can but haven't.
Given this attitude, the answer to your other comment:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40511726 "As a junior employee, I have no patience for your point. Going into office is one thing juniors can do about the "problem with the culture" so my stance stays the same until the so-called culture changes. In my experience, the number of seniors who complain sbout RTO and don't hoard knowledge is tiny."

... is that it is likely that nobody is hoarding knowledge, they're just avoiding you because you're unpleasant.
