I dare say it is the consencus but I don't think it's a surprise to learn that people hate commuting.

The problem is that managers want to see people working and an office environment is perfect for this purpose. I would be surprised if anything really changes in this regard long-term, other than in a few outlying cases.

Well in my experience as a developer 9 of 10 managers who said they prefer result / outcome and don't care about the process will be the first to complaint if see you're reading news / articles and oppose remote working

Do managers really care if you're in seats working? Most managers I know are fans of remote because they're usually older and have family. The push to return is coming from company executives at the very top.

Anecdotally, there are a lot of bad managers around who do care. I'm glad your actual experience contradicts this.

This hasn't been my experience so far, I've been looking at moving jobs recently and I've got plenty of options even after discarding anything with required office hours or "temporarily remote" jobs which will return to mandatory commuting.

I hope I am proved wrong and your experience becomes the norm.
