This is like saying "There aren't enough high-paying jobs".

Remote is one property of a job to select for.

You may not value it high enough to compromise on other parameters.

Sure, there aren't enough remote jobs for everyone to have one.

But everyone doesn't want a remote job, just like everyone wants a high-paying job. (Sure, everyone wants money. But they want to work excessive hours, or work in a field they find questionable? Well, maybe high pay isn't always a good trade-off either.)

In my social circle, most of the people complaining about RTO work in big tech. They just want to keep their massive salaries without having to go into the office a set # of times per week. Others just want to GTFO of California but keep the same salary.

There are endless startups that are hiring which are 100% remote, but they aren't handing out 500k comp packages for staff level engineers though. It's a pretty obvious case of wanting your cake and eating it at the same time.
