This is overly reductive. There are pros and cons to remote work. In-office is better for high bandwidth collaboration and social cohesion, but remote is better for IC focus, talent pool, and commute times. Which one is overall faster depends on cultural factors and work styles specific to the company.
In aggregate we're only 2 years into the majority of companies giving full-remote serious consideration, so it hasn't really been fully tested yet. I don't think fully remote will be the default by any stretch, because at the end of the day many people are not cut out for remote work, but it's definitely going to be stickier than a lot type A management blowhards want to believe, and I predict we'll see some major all-remote success stories at scale over the next 5-10 years.
