Did you ever consider why they decided to move forward with their decision? Clearly they are not complete idiots, since they did end up building the most valuable company in the world. There's gotta be something to it, don't you think? Sometimes it's helpful to give others the benefit of the doubt and at least ask yourself what kind of analyses they might have done to come to a conclusion. As you correctly state, WFH would have been actually cheaper in the short term, so what do you think could have made them go the other way?
