Being deliberately cynical: Employers need to make some kind of concessions to attract workers, they'd rather die than offer something like a four day week whereas remote work both retains the same general expectations in terms of what's produced (perhaps a bit more if your employees have been treating the commute as part of the work day, as they should imo) and they're probably able to sell themselves on some dream future where they can hire developers even further away for much less and swap any one out with another whenever they want.
=======
Fully remote work surely only works in companies who hire no junior devs? Where are they supposed to build up their skillset if they haven't already got a network of developer friends? This seems like the biggest weakness of remote work at the moment from a company perspective.
From a personal perspective I do have questions about what happens a society where huge swathes of people will be able to almost totally evade social interactions and interpersonal relationships from day to day. I definitely would be best with a mix of remote and on-site if only to stop myself from going a bit weird.
