The people who claim "real estate value!" have just latched onto the simplest reason they can which aligns with their worldview.

The reasons I suspect companies are forcing return to office are more:

shareholders don't like unused assets, so they tell the ceo to "use it or lose it"
the people who make the decision have the type of extroverted personality where they actually do work better in the office and they can't fathom people being different
the people who make the decision prefer to have the office full because it makes them feel more powerful. They can see the people they lord over.
