"...why the ease of remote work is not offsetting the trend that's moving jobs into place like San Francisco and New York"
Because it's scary. If you're Google or Facebook you don't have to bother with it because people will move to you. If you're startup whatever.io then you want to avoid risk that isn't directly related to your purpose so you probably try to park next to Google or Facebook and work hard on other solutions to the "how do we hire" problem.
That said, it actually is offsetting that trend. It's just doing it too slowly to be noticed, but as someone who's worked remotely for an SF startup for almost 6 years and pays attention to the Who's Hiring remote posts, etc. I can tell you there's been a somewhat dramatic uptick in remote hiring in the past couple of years.
