> I think it's an introvert extrovert split, primarily, with extroverts more likely to be in leadership roles and therefore dictating to everyone else to live like they do.

And the introverts are sick of it. They see the mess so-called "leadership" has created - from the corporate level clear up to the national level. Incompetence and corruption is running amok throughout the world and people are sick of it. They're also sick of being forced to work and live in ways solely intended to protect the wealth of others.

I know plenty of extroverts who strongly prefer WFH.

I think a lot of it’s manager insecurity, bad processes and structures that also harm in-person work but are harder to ignore when remote, and tax incentives (these are often tied to having X employees working from a given office, and they really do mean working from)

I don't disagree with you about the things people are sick of but there's an implication that none of this would be happening if only the people in charge were introverts and I really don't see it.

Corruption and greed are accessible to both introverts and extroverts.

I don't know if the introverts would have done any better, but it's clear people are no longer content with the status quo.
As an introvert myself I totally sympathize. Unfortunately, until we introverts figure out a way to work together, the extroverts will continue to run the show.
