If it's that simple why is burnout so topical now at month 17 of covid19?
I think it's actually: your boundaries needed to significantly change during the pandemic, and you didn't recognize that in time.
If covid19 had been eradicated in 6-9 months and we were globally back to normal, would burnout still be as much of a problem? I suspect it would not be.

Yes, we were forced into an unnatural, unexpected situation of remote work and social isolation. Remote work used to be a treat, something you did when you needed repairs done around the house. Now it's a Zoom-powered dystopian nightmare.
