I have worked remote 2-4 days a week for over 20 years. I think remote work becomes significantly more common, but it will typically be just 1-2 days per week for the most people.
Reasons:
(1) Many otherwise good workers don't have the self discipline to manage their time. They start to drift, lose focus, slack. Then they get anxiety, quilt and other problems when they can't keep up. Coming to office provides comforting routine and frames the day.
(2) Some people need frequent human contact to perform well.
(3) Managing new people remotely is more difficult. You miss all the cues. Simple miscommunication that would sort itself within minutes or days when working together can become month long problem, or never resolve.
(4) Group dynamics breaks. Casual contacts and accidental meetings transfer substantial amount of information.
