    One Youtube channel suggested it was tax incentives. Cities give tax incentives to large corporate offices in order to bring customers, er… employees to the cities.

    Work from home means offices no longer meet qualifications for tax breaks. Ergo CEO freakouts.

    Don’t know if it’s true, but it does sound plausible to me.
