I'm actually agree with your boss. Rules are rules. If there is no rule stated that the manager can allow additional day WFH at their discretion, then just follow. In your boss POV, he probably don't want to set precedent to others which might caused more complication in future.

Your staff might be honest, but there always other people who try to take advantage of this precedent and misuse it as loophole to attain WFH. If there are soft-hearted manager, then the possibility their staff might get more additional WFH using same tactic while other manager who are more strict might not allowed their staff to do the same. This situation might caused dissatisfaction among the staffs and complicate the situation that will never exist if the rule is never broken at first place.
