The change isn't especially surprising. Given that the survey allows for even <50% remote work to be factored in, I expect that there's been an increase in the number of better compensated/more senior people who work remotely as opposed to being primarily contractors, support staff, etc. The article speculates about this but it seems pretty obvious among a lot of people I work with and know.

Anecdote - Talked to a highly paid contractor from Nasa the other day. He said he's been working in-office 30+ years and just this month was allowed to work full-time remote.

Renaissance of remote work approaching imo.
