I don't know on what basis you make these sweeping generalizations. If nothing else, commutes made people miserable in terms of time, money, stress, and difficulty scheduling outside life.

Time will tell whether you are right or not.

WFH is poor for intra-team communication and rapport building. Companies won't want to take this risk. It only works for experienced individual contributors like freelancers, who aren't many. Good things are created only by collaboration. The collaboration suffers in WFH. Let's come back to this in next 6 months. Don't delete your comment.

I thought that back in June, when Covid cases were heading down to a reasonable level. Today, not so much.

You are right though, WFH is not sustainable for many. Many folks are burnt out.
