I hope we understand that influencing others can happen without meeting them in a room on their schedule? If we do, then perhaps the general zeitgeist will evolve to recognize the superpower therein?

OK, but this marginally favors introverts, if at all.

People will still need to be aggressive in building relationships and influencing them. Does this sound to you like something introverts would enjoy, even if they're able to do it on Zoom?

Me and some other introverts I know actually find Zoom calls more draining than in person conversations. Not sure why.
I'm not sure I'm an introvert, I think I live in a broad range between the two poles, but I definitely notice that sometimes too.
In that case, it might favour "people who can type fast", not "introverts".
