The problem I’m dealing with is that there are real benefits to having people in situations where chance interactions occur and forced socialization at the expense of work productivity, but upper management doesn’t focus on that. They are focused on pushing the RTO agenda without explaining their desired goals.

The big thing is that while there are benefits to shared spaces for most people, it is rare that it is something that is important enough to justify everyone making a daily commute. Especially when the vast majority of their jobs are done independently, with a small portion of their time benefiting from collaboration or chance interactions.
I have a hybrid schedule which works great because on the days I am in the office I interact with others most of the time and the days at home are spent getting the work done as a result of that interaction. I'm not being constantly interrupted or annoyed by the 'chance interactions' of everyone else in the wide open office environment for most of my week.
