Remote isn't flawless. A/V systems are still plagued with issues, tons of people don't have the discipline required, even more people don't live in an environment that allows it (eg: having proper office space), lots of people have family a t home that will not respect their work time, etc. It has plenty of benefits of course, and I can absolutely see how someone can make the argument that the above is a small price to pay for the benefits. They may not be wrong, either. But you have a way of working that has been the norm since the dawn of time, and you have a new way that is still debatable if it's worth it, and the obvious reaction for many is to keep the statue quo. And then there's just preferences. My current company is making a big shift to allow more remote work. Many people, myself included, don't work well in that environment. We're adapting, but if a situation happened and I ended up leaving my current job, I'd actively seek another office-first company.
