I really don't see the fuss. I've been back in the office full time since last year.
If we need a WFH day we can have it otherwise expectations are too go in.
I honestly prefer the flexibility of a day at home when I need it over having agreed home and office days.
Many people at my workplace are saying similar, "it's not that bad, what's the fuss" etc. The point is you can just as easily ask employers "what's the fuss?" when they whinge and moan about their empty offices. I'm yet to see a real argument beyond "we believe face-to-face time increases collaboration and innovation" as though that means anything.
On the other hand, 3 years WFH and we continued to post record profits year after year, just like before the pandemic, just like we undoubtedly will after... it makes no difference... just let people work from wherever they want. I do agree with your sentiment about having agreed home and office days (hybrid working is not flexible).
