>I always think in the future so many more people will just work remotely

People have been saying this for over a decade now (probably much longer, but that's when I started paying attention) and I've yet to see any evidence at all that it's true. As the owner of a rural house where my only internet option is satellite, I'd love for it to be true, but I still rent and apartment in the Bay Area where I live most of the time because that's where my employer wants me to be.
