Anecdotally (from own experience and tech workers I know) I feel that remote work has been growing steadily over the past decade, with a an increase in job ads mentioning remote (even if they went out their way to say "office only") but I don't have data either way to back this up. It feels that long-term changes in tech as well as management culture were making remote more common in the long term, and the pandemic accelerated a trend (much like the shift in the movie industry from cinemas to home streaming).
