Some companies actually experimented with this and found that, not only did revenue either stay the same or increase, but employee productivity went up and resignations decreased

While there are some fields where that won't be the case and that makes legislation kind of tricky, I'm pretty comfortable saying that the only reason this hasn't become standardized by legislation is that it would be unpopular among older and/or conservative voters that refuse to accept the idea of people not having to "work as hard" as they currently do. There are probably a few other factors, like commercial real estate investors not wanting companies to downsize their offices (also playing a major role in the pushback against remote work) and downtown businesses being concerned about having fewer days to make their money (again, also a factor working against remote work, even to the extent of many cities offering tax incentives to companies that force employees back into the office), but the biggest obstacle is almost certainly political backlash from people who don't want life to be easier for future generations.
