It's worth noting that, for the past 15 years or so, only a small fraction of Apple's developer community has been able to attend WWDC in person. These fortunate individuals won the lottery and could afford the time and cost of attending. While it was great for them, it was not so great for everyone else who missed out on the opportunity to network with other developers and talk to Apple engineers. Moving the event online makes it much fairer for everyone.
Also, WWDC 2023 still includes an in-person event. The difference now is that attendees will no longer have exclusive access to labs and technical support.
