Remote work is what realigned people's perspectives on what they want. Most people do not want to come to an office, get up every morning, etc. Most people don't even want to work the jobs they work, they just do it because they think they have to. And remote work has changed that, it brought back to the table the fact that people don't have to leave the comfort of their home if they don't want to, that they can enjoy said home a lot more than before as they can actually spend time in it, etc. It dissociated people from having to completely drain themselves into the corporate world, and that, was an excellent thing.
