Out of curiosity, what percentage of YC founders just go to the office hours and dinner and not work for the duration of the program? Is this encouraged?

I can't comment on that but the issue here is what constitutes work and actively participating in YC doesn't even if this participation results in benefit to a company.
Participating in YC isn't work? Isn't it a startup accelerator for teams to grow their business? Isn't growing one's business work?
Work in the context of immigration means participating in the local economy. A person visiting SF to attend YC is not working for a U.S. company, they are not participating in the local economy, they’re on a business trip conducting business.
