Remote work makes modern life possible. In almost every major US city commutes, and the pressures of caring for a family 10x'd over the last 50 years. In their heart of hearts everyone knows 90% of the pandemic was not fear of a virus, but coping with exhaustion of a life that had become untenable for most people.

I don't think everyone is as-productive in a remote mode, but knowledge workers who build tangible things often can be more productive, and measurably so.

Excess Management is more visibly pointless with remote work, and naturally excess managers who contribute ~nothing hate it. For example people who manage mediocre webblogs due to be replaced by LLM content such as the author of this document. It makes those people miserable, and the majority of workers in any organization are unproductive. That's all.
