Even if everything about remote workspaces were bad for professional developers, they will accept it if that's what companies are offering. Just like they accepted open offices, standup meetings, all-day video calls, agile, etc. And there's a lot to like for an employer: spend less on computers, reduce IT costs by locking down machines, get new employees productive sooner, make developers more interchangeable...

It's going to happen, and it doesn't matter much if employees like it or not.

It has happened since UNIX/VMS/.... systems exist.

That is a typical enterprise setup, thin clients with development taking place on a beefy server.

For Windows systems, you get a VM with RDP or Citrix access.

And native cloud development, is exactly the UNIX/VMS/.... model with fancy UI.
