A lot of what happens in business is performance theater, not actually being productive. It's one of the reasons bosses like AI do much, because if gives a magnificent impression of doing lots of work, even if in some cases you have to hire more people to correct that slop afterwards.
It's the same for going back to the office. They want to see the worker show being performed in the building even though working from home is usually more productive.
