Benefit for the company will go on forever.
I will stay on the ground where WFH is benefit for the company. That is what I believe and I want everyone to believe and I do not care what any kind of research will say. Just if employees will force it in that way it will be.

I'm not sure about that. Companies are still made of people and people aren't always rational or even good at their jobs. Managers might prefer butts in seats because it's easier for them. Or maybe they fall for the sunk cost fallacy and want people in the office because the office space is expensive.
Benefits can be enshrined in law, you should see what European countries have legislated at the benefit of workers some time.
Consistency and stability is a benefit to the company, but execs still periodically fuck that up for no reason with random reorgs.
Though I agree that framing WFH as a productivity gain makes RTO in the name of productivity harder to sell.
