That's why I said this:

Build a team based on trust and let the team decide their office schedule.

It seems your team was not put together with the intention of working in an office, so it would not make sense to require your team to come to the office.

My team has decided that in-office work is valuable, so we only hire locally or pay to relocate people. We do have four full remote team members, and those exist because of extenuating circumstances (two need to work with customers in their region, and two have legal/family obligations), and we fly them out every few months at company expense (e.g. for project kickoff meetings). But the rest of our 20-ish people live locally.

We have two other teams in two different time zones (one in Europe, one in Asia; we're in the US) that are part of the overall team, and they meet in their respective regions. We do remote sync calls with them, but otherwise they are independent.

If your work doesn't benefit from in-office collaboration, there's no reason to come into an office. Ours does, so we do. But at the end of the day, it should be the team that decides, not management.
