The reason there's little compromise is that there's only so many profitable workplaces to go around. So how they get managed is a resource decision allocation problem like most other things. I think for people in the Bay Area maybe this might not be the case. But other places in the world don't have the same kind of plethora of options. For me, it's work remote, or take a massive paycut and work on far less interesting and satisfying work. But I also don't like working remote. So, yeah...
