There are not nearly enough remote jobs currently, though it seems that more companies are wising up. I agree 100% with you on this however. Office work is archaic now and an expense that can be eliminated. Not only do businesses with remote developers save money, but they get more productive developers who can spend 90% of their time coding or on code reviews (that's how much I currently spend). Sadly, many companies just want to micromanage and when asked, will reply with some bullshit about company culture. Let's not kid ourselves. This has nothing to do with company culture or collaborating or fostering any kind of environment. The only reason to not allow remote working is because the company feels it needs to micromanage.
I'm certain that there isn't currently any company offering competitive salaries and remote work that isn't inundated with qualified applicants. Not that there is a shortage of qualified engineers in the first place (at least in the US), but the companies that are too stupid to find them would be well served to offer remote work and see those qualified applicants lining up.
