The challenge with this mindset is it leads to violent worker uprising when employers don't give enough compared to what they take. History is littered with examples of bloody workers movements.
Perhaps companies should seek to find opportunity in the shift to a better balance. For starters, commercial real estate is a major liability on their books. How much of what we are seeing now is because they can't easily get that off their books so need to justify it?

In the middle term, companies will simply replace those who down tow the company line with those who will. Gather ye WFH days while ye may.

Prognostications with no limiting principle are intellectually lazy; they also lack the substance to be respected as cynical. The industry has gone through that once. The second time around even the MBAs learned how remarkably stupid offshoring is. All of the remote/WFH companies have been going about it for three or more years now. If all these jobs were going to be offshored why hasn't it happened by now? What exactly prevented this fantasy from happening over the last several years? In other words, what makes you so confident that someday in the future things will converge into this prediction? The timelines of your argument don't really match up, making this really no different than Pascal's wager.
