Maybe for a few people software already ate the world, but for online delivery we need storage workers and all systems involved in delivery - post and ships and trucks - working as well. Plus production sites and factories and materials extraction and should I go on? Nothing of these can be done remotely.

I completely agree, but blue collar workers aren’t eating out at fancy restaurants downtown after work. There was an entire segment of a bunch of industries dedicated to serving the needs of white collar workers in city centers, and that’s all just gone and not coming back.
Yeah, a lot of it has moved to delivery apps. Which represents a fundamental realignment of large segments of our economy. I personally believe this was always going to happen anyway, but the pandemic forced it so quickly a lot of people haven’t realized we’re never going back.
