You have a source for any of that?
Speaking personally, everyone I’ve spoken to on the matter (myself included) have zero desire to return to a traditional office.

Hiring, the same way RO outfits can access unique talent, and information transfer, particularly to newer team members. Also, in industries where over-documentation is an unnecessary liability.
I enjoy going to an office, having a change of scenery, interacting with people (both close friends and casual acquaintances), brainstorming ideas with a small group around a whiteboard, getting lunch with colleagues, etc, etc...
Sure, the "writing code" part of the job is easier when there are fewer distractions. And a crowded open office can be an annoying source of distractions.
And I definitely enjoy having lunch more often with my family, or hanging out with the dogs, or sitting out on my deck under the trees while I read my morning email.
But working in an office was nice too, and I miss it.
The working environment which is conducive to a successful developer vs a successful admin are, most likely (in my experience), two completely different environments.
This is obviously hyperbole for... living a life?
