This is is some Black Mirror shit.
Not really. This is typical boomer behavior. They're old stupid brains can't wrap their heads around the idea that offices are outdated unneeded concepts in the new digital age. They actually think remote work is somehow losing money for them because workers aren't getting dressed up and commuting to the office. That somehow by not coming to the office workers are being lazy and not working hard enough for them. And their dumb boomer brains refuse to acknowledge the mountain of evidence that shows that remote workers are actually tremendously more productive than in-office workers
This is typical boomer behavior.

I don't think ageism is the answer to the problem. here.
There's ample evidence this is "stupid corporate culture" shit.

All of their tech job openings are in India or Vietnam. I’d have assumed a major US health data handler would be developing onshore!

They were probably concerned that all their employees seem to be getting cancer.
Dude in his boxers is late for the no-pants subway ride, which only people who work in person participate in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Pants_Subway_Ride
Here's the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:
The No Pants Subway Ride (or No Trousers on the Tube Ride in the UK) is an annual event where people ride rapid transit or subway while they are not wearing pants. Beginning in New York in 2002, the event spread to as many as sixty cities as of 2013.
