One minor difference in the story: a global pandemic

  How do you think that will change things this time around exactly?

    I think it's already forced many employers that perviously weren't as remote-friendly to move more aggressively towards it. Already we've seen that in a big way at Twitter (see post from 2 days ago, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23155647 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23155647)

    It's simple. There needed to be an outside force to push large scale testing of remote to convince people to try it. That's the pandemic. It wasn't going to happen on large scale without it. Now that it's been proven in many fields to be viable, it's got a much higher likelihood of sticking than before.
