I was with you until you turned it into some weird nonsense about class and age for no reason.
For thousands of years the majority of work occurred in collocation with other people doing the same work as you. Now we have technology that allows for remote work and there are a lot of companies taking advantage of it.
Over time the default will become remote if the specific job allows it. I imagine at some point beyond the default will become remote regardless of the task.
But you can't expect people to change the entire organizational structure of their business overnight "because Slack!"
