I can make solid arguments for working in person. Seriously! But I won't bother with this crowd. (I can probably argue better for remote work, but it's complicated.)
Eating out with senior management a year or two ago and the CEO was floating the idea that it would be better if we were in the office. While agreeing, somewhat, I related an anecdote from reddit.
"So this guy is a software recruiter (what we do). He keeps a list of local companies mandating a return to office and calls on those employees offering remote work. 'Like shooting fish in a barrel.', was the quote I believe."
Mandate office work and you'll end up with the people that have no choice. FAFO.

If you're not going to make an argument, then why do you even bother saying that you could? All you told me is that you're not confident enough to make unpopular statements.
Quoted section is just context. The context paired with the important last line is:
"Even a person who could argue 1 or more points in favor of RTO can see that you will get a lower quality workforce if forcing RTO like this."
Thanks for clearing that up.
Companies want do downsize. They don't care. They think workers are like replacable cogs. They don't understand that the WFH people who are jumping ship are the productive ones with options, and the people who can't jump ship are the shitty ones.
Same thing with doing "spill and fills" The ones who know they're good will find another job no hassles so they put their hand up. The useless ones ones will want to stay so you end up with a team of 'meh' people while the good ones move on to something better.
These are the X team.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Things are complicated all the time.
