Not buying it.

Sure, culture is everyone's responsibility. But the share is not the same. Doesn't it seem obvious that a VP has dramatically more impact on culture that a poor junior engineer?

The same execs who allowed overhiring employees with expensive comp packages, just to turn around and lay off thousands of them, has never apologized or admitted, at the very least, some level of incompetence. Instead they blame it on those very same people that they hired and then fired.

BTW if you hypothesis is correct, shouldn't the culture be improving instead of deteriorating? RTO has been in effect long enough that we should be seeing it's positive effects clearly. Instead the company seems to be rotting from the inside. But I guess you could always find a new scapegoat. Maybe 3 days a week in office is not enough, and we need full 5. Maybe those covid hires are the real problem and we need to get rid of them.
