The company can absolutely be wrong in their idea of how to make money, no doubt. But it's still what motivates them.

I've stepped out of my lane to make money for the company, even when explicitly told not to, but the making money part meant they overlooked my transgressions. I figured they would, as businessmen really like making money.

If you refuse a mandatory RTO order, you may be replaced with a less productive employee. But from a company standpoint, allowing you to violate it means others will demand it, and it may be a net loss for the company to keep you.
