We've been pretty liberal WFH for years. It mostly started because we were decentralized into Dallas, NJ and VA, and then spread out even more. There really wasn't much benefit of going into the office when we weren't working with anyone else who was there. It became a lot easier to hire for niche technical skills when we weren't limited to 3 markets as well. I'm kind of surprised a company like Twitter would have all their staff in a single market or two.
I find that early career and late career people generally dislike remote work the most. The mid career people with families and such see the most benefit. The younger people often have just got back from college or another job and tend to feel like they are missing out on the social aspects and also don't get the face to face experience in learning things, etc.
The empty nesters often just like getting out of their house.
