Most people don't really evaluate things on their merit in a logical way like they think they do. Most behavior and opinions are picked up subconsciously based on what seems to be trending around them. Then comes the rationalization.

In other words, the herd moved towards WFH and got used to it. Now there are less rationalizations for commuting.

The few actual thoughts based on real-world observation now have actual experience of WFH to reference, which means fewer made up nonsense reasons to dislike it.

One thing that always stupidly gets left out of these conversations is the radical difference in situations for some people. Before, when kids were at home also, some parents were literally required to do two jobs while at home -- teacher and their normal job.

Or some people had spouses who did not understand WFH and did not respect boundaries.

But with the kids back in school it's a totally different situation for many.
