My first remote position was in 2006 or so and I've been mostly remote since as I'm primarily a contractor.
I wouldn't agree that most people aren't built to work remotely, but I have always maintained that it is a skill that takes time to build. Which is why it's unfortunate that RTO happened so quickly.
Of course I always prefer remote work for companies in the same city. Being able to come in easily when necessary helps a lot.

I know the terms are a little fuzzy. My favorite option is incredibly selfish for me. I love working from home relatively close to an office I can come into at any time I wish. This requires everyone else working in the office on a daily basis so I can come in as my whims desire. That is not remote work though. That's working remotely for an in-office organization and it only works if you are in the extreme minority in some special positions. Fully remote orgs with no offices whatsoever are a different beast entirely in my mind and require much different organization and communication setups.
