i can only speak for myself, but work from home has genuinely been life changing as an autistic person.
i also think you are right that choosing to work remotely comes at the risk of limiting opportunities, but the difference in quality of life is significant enough that i am willing to take that risk [it's not like those of us with terrible interpersonal skills were going to be making many life-changing connections irl anyway]

That is awesome! Don't get me wrong, I'm all for having the choice. What I think is crazy is people want to act like there aren't trade off's. You clearly are aware of them and for you they still overwhelmingly work in your favor - that's win-win.
If there is one positive thing from the pandemic, it did force companies that would have never entertained remote work to at least do it - and many will probably keep at least some remote work as part of their employment package. However I don't see it staying at, of all companies, Apple. Their corporate culture, desire for information control/secrecy - at this point if you are an employee of Apple and surprised they want everyone back in the office - well, that's more your problem than theirs.
