I mostly agree with you, but we should remember that the shift to remote happened abruptly due to an unprecedented, immensely disruptive pandemic. This was not a controlled experiment where we can automatically attribute any issues that emerged after the shift to inherent flaws in remote work.

That said, I think your experiences with the limitations of remote are valid and shouldn't be dismissed, although I personally am extremely committed to remote.

I'm committed to remote, too, because the alternative (local pseudo-feudal crappy employers who generally underpay) is worse. But now on my own terms and with an employer I choose rather than the half-assed way that it was attempted at Google. And without my kids at home.

Probably, actually, I'll end up renting a desk out of home somewhere nearby.

Sounds like we both survived the pandemic with young kids at home. I for one won't be getting the t-shirt.
