Not a fed agency.
I’m a consultant and at my company those who don’t go meet the RTO minimum are ineligible for the highest year end rating which lowers your raise/bonus by 1-2%. FWIW, my company is 3 days a week RTO but I go in 0-2 times per week since I’m working on projects with people from other states. It’s not an efficient use of time for us to go to the office when we are just going to be calling each other on teams anyways. I do go in 3-5 days a week when I’m working with a local team.
You’re not a sucker for RTO since the company could easily fire those who are non-compliant.
This seems like barely a consequence. Feels like RTO is just one big bluffing game and there is no real reason to fully do it. Do just enough, and that's it.

If you’re a “good” employee and “in” with leadership - do whatever you want within reason.
If you’re a “bad” employee, on the rocks already, and don’t RTO - you’ll get let go right before raises go out/promotions occur/new hires get brought in. All your old work goes straight to the new hires/promotees.
From what I’ve observed (3 days RTO).
