I'm pretty sure some companies are also using it to encourage people to quit before layoffs and needing to pay out severance. Happened to me earlier this year. In December they announced we'd go from optionally fully remote, to mandatory 3-days in office in February. Then at the end of march they laid off a bunch of people.

So watch the timing at Dell, I wonder if we'll see some layoffs there in a couple months.
