Are return to work mandates just another way for stealth layoffs

Let me start by saying I do not work remotely and am currently trying to become a better programmer to help me eventually reach that “work life balance ” that remotely work promises. Now I understand this is “antiwork”, but from the posts I'm reading,looks like companies have decided to embrace the end of remote work. My question is, is this just a tactic to avoid getting rid of employees through layoffs and forcing them out by forcing a decision that massively affects thier day to day and isn't in thier favor. TLDR: Are companies stopping remote work provisions to avoid layoffs and instead force resignations by effectively making workers life harder.
