It seems like such an odd one for people to get into arguments over too. Some people prefer working in the office, some people from home, some like a bit of both. So, why not just let the workers choose and everyone wins?
My last place had a 2 day in office mandate after lockdowns lifted. Few people came in more than 2 days. So any time you were having a meeting, it was a bunch of people in a meeting room and a bunch on Zoom. The worst of both worlds!
And of course they were making a big thing about their green credentials, while unnecessarily asking people to commute into the office when they'd just spent the past 2 years doing the same job from home.
My current workplace thankfully is pretty flexible that way, some people are fully remote, some are in the office a few days a week. Nobody really cares as long as the work gets done. Thankfully the owners seem to be mature enough to not care about the office theatrics around appearing busy.

My current employer is trying to calculate the carbon footprint of commuting compared to running the heating (or AC, they are North American) at home to show that commuting isn't that bad, perhaps.

We have apprentices and graduates who's development as been stagnated due to WFH.
There is more to the discussion than " I can do my work at home" senior staff have performance objectives to develop other staff (it's also in the job descriptions)

The 'office' or 'wfh' discussion/arguement has got to be one of the worst legacys of COVID.
Like almost everything these days, people on either side are never going to convince people on the other side, and anyone in the middle gets frowns from them both.
