From a nation standpoint, doesn't "incentivizing and promoting" remote work also incentivize off-shoring jobs out of your economy? If your nation's companies perfect remote work, why would they higher your highly paid citizens living in (relatively) high cost of living areas when they could hire massive remote teams in lower cost of living countries to do the same job for less?

I'm a big fan of flexibility, and certainly think companies should do their best to treat their employees as adults and let them do what works best for them and their teams. But it is really weird to me to watch an industry that has spent years trying to convince companies that hiring off-shore remote workers had all sorts of negative externalities on team cohesion and the development process suddenly fall head over heals in love with the idea of all companies going all in on "off-shore remote workers".
