> If you try to coerce other people according to your preference, you need an argument, as you would in any other context.

You may think you're more likely to get your way if you have a compelling argument but history has proven that's not always true.

The argument is, "I would like this better."

> For reason, the RTO arguments are very bad. Is there some part the proponents can't say out loud?

No, I believe the part being said out loud is, "We prefer to work at a company where all employees are in office." That's all you need to say. The only people I've ever heard talk about water coolers are the dismissive WFH people.
