GP is definitely overstating it. (GP is, in fact, so overstated that Poe's Law comes to mind.)
What so many people here on HN forget is that software is not the world. WFH works fantastically for software, because you don't need anything other than a computer to make software. Pretty much everything in the world other than software, not so much.
To pick just one nicely concrete example, who do you think makes computers? Electronics labs full of advanced equipment aren't found in ordinary people's homes. I can't do my job entirely from home without spending ~my annual salary on equipment, and even if I or my company wanted to pay for that, I don't have anywhere at home to put it.
