Well, two parents working means the kids would be in daycare normally, that wouldn’t change with WFH or not. This is more of a pandemic issue than a WFH issue.

Also, the choice of whether one or both parents work is about more than just money. For one thing, it is basically choosing to end your career; we might not wish it to be so, but getting back in the workforce after being out for years is very difficult, and will require moving down the career growth ladder quite a bit.

This is all true, but there's also a not insignificant group of people that do have both parents working solely for the money and wfh allows those people to move to a one income household since work is no longer coupled to real estate market.
