Let's see in couple of years, I wouldn't be so optimistic. There might be a push back after covid is somehow managed and people start coming back to cities, but

People working from home due to covid are still operating in the same time zones and culture etc. If you want top talent in India or China they don’t want to work the night shift which means communication with the rest of the organization becomes difficult, even ignoring culture. The real impact IMO is going to be the erosion of the SV salary premium to other US workers. This might actually raise minimum US salaries due to increased competition with major tech companies in places like Oklahoma without huge tech salaries. However, the real losers from that will be property owners in SV not programmers.
