I suspect you will be proved right that the changes often won't be as big as some have predicted. One of the surprises to me about the spike in working from home during COVID was how many people didn't really like it either because their work environment wasn't very good or just because they missed the direct communications and social aspect of working in an office together. Based on that I suspect we'll see a lot of hybrid arrangements in the future as well as some people preferring to work from home full time. I won't be surprised if we see some sort of local work hubs developing as well.

For all the fervor here about remote work, a lot of people especially with fairly easy commutes prefer to go into an office many days for the environment, social aspect, work/life separation, change of scenery, etc. I worked for an analyst firm at one point and many people came in most days even though they usually didn't need to. Early on in the pandemic, there were lots of predictions about what pandemic activities would stay and which would be dropped/be much diminished. The evidence seems to suggest that things today are a lot more like the before times than they are different.
