I mean WFH was literally impossible for a lot of jobs until broadband internet and personal computers became ubiquitous in the average workers home in the last decade or so. That's part of why yor boss felt entitled to all that, but I see the rest of your points

oh my boss felt entitled to this recently

they point blank told me they needed me in the office because 'they owned the building' (read: they think they are entitled to use their employees time and resources to prop up the value of their commercial real estate)

they also spent the time during the pandemic installing a giant paid cafeteria, so they were hoping to capture some of that lunch revenue I mentioned for themselves, or the company they sub-contracted with

(yes, I did quit, get a new job, and a raise)
