And there are lots of engineers for whom working remotely would increase their salary, however it decreased the cost for their employees. If anything, I'd say that (on a global scale) economic incentives are firmly on the side of solving the remote working problem rather then perpetuating it.

I don't disagree with the grandparent: there are people who would do it, but I think for engineers right now the incentives are aligned against it.

And I agree with you, for employers it's definitely in their interests, they just need to get over the inertia of "bums in seats means work is getting done".
