I actually agree with you that this is not actually a remote experiment.
But -- and I feel like I'm alone in this -- my personal observation is that even for teams that knew each other before full time WFH I've noticed the teams _mostly_ are not doing new and challenging projects. There's a ton of work and small iterating possible in any company, but I notice all the challenging projects have been punted - or are moving very slowly.
My personal conclusion is that remote work does not, in fact, work well, at least for some types of projects. I can totally see UI-heavy stuff working out, for example, but not embedded or high complexity projects.
