RTO is only "better" for the owning class.

RTO makes it harder to micromanage > employees realise they can self-organise > employees form unions and demand "better" employment contracts

Also the money saved by not commuting has allowed (some) office workers to save up for emergency funds, which comes in handy when it is time for a strike.

RTO = preventative union busting
