Digital nomads are typically young people who want to see the world and have a happy life, so the best prey of modern capitalism. They typically have little means and depend on third party services for anything, without "buffers" so they are tied to their genitals normally not thinking/knowing that until the the leash is pulled. That's why they are well pushed in modern narrative.
It's not much different than histories about "influencers" who apparently get rich doing very little (regularly not showing the backstage) just accepting being tied to a platform.
That's the real "myth" IMVHO.
If we can work remotely we can WFH, perhaps a comfortable home, perhaps with savings and investments to being able to be job-less for a long period of time, to being able to choose jobs instead of living day-to-day just to eat and sleep. So such kind of workers are not that interested for modern capitalism, they are too choosy since they can, they can't be pulled much throw an economical leash and they also have a network of friends and acquaintances in the physical world so they are far less vulnerable. Good to have some "stable" high-quality professionals but not good for the lowest end of the pyramid.
I'm curious if someone is able to dismantle such "myth"... Oh, please no, do not tell about the casual billionaire who live traveling the world with a big yacht. Yes, they exists and they are nomad, but they are VEEEERY few respect of all other "digital nomads", use them as a model is like using a lottery winner as a model to justify spending on lotteries.
