I guess in many companies that's the reasons why policies were intentionally made less flexible lately. They lower remote work because they want a certain percentage of employees to leave. During COVID many tech companies had a huge peak in demand and hired a ton of people. Now, as demand lowered, they're looking for cheap ways to get rid of the staff again.

IMHO it's not a smart tactic because you tend to lose the best employees first as they easily find a better opportunity elsewhere.

Yep. A slow brain drain as all the smart people get jobs elsewhere while the ones who find it harder to move are stuck there.
