One point about remote work, versus in-office work, that rarely gets brought up is that remote work promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion.
You get to work with people who live across the country, or across the world, with all of the variety of culture that brings. Plus, you get to work with people from rural areas, for whom big-city jobs would otherwise be infeasible.
The more flexible working arrangement is good for women with young children, some of whom would otherwise leave the workforce entirely for a few years. (It's good for men with young children, too, but they are less likely to leave the workforce over it.)
It's also good for people with disabilities -- both those that impair mobility and those with chronic conditions.
