One of my employees moved across the country because his GF got a dream job. I went to bat for him and got him approved to work remote from his new location. After a lot of back and forth with my boss and our CFO I also got him approved for us to pay for office space for him. Response was "fine, but he'll never get a promotion working remote".
Dude kicked ass this year and I got him approved for a promotion and a 33% pay increase.
My dream is to go remote as well. Being in the office is often a gigantic waste of time.
Edit- I'm a millennial. I hate my office despite the free food and booze. Commuting sucks too.

millenials love offices if you make it feel like college - isn't that the whole wework thing? Apples campus, facebooks campus, googles campus? commutings fine if you call it an uberride or a techbus with wifi.
if remote works the thing.. why do people still cluster for tech industry jobs?

Yeah - remote is def not "one size fits all" but, after working remotely for over 3-1/2 years nearly exclusively, I gotta say... I may be ruined for going to an office and seeing people. Then again, my boss is in Nebraska, my U.S. colleagues are in AZ, WA, NE, etc. so we've figured out how to make it work...

Why even have an office?

For the same reason you have a bathroom, to do your business in an orderly fashion. A place to keep toothpaste a toilet paper.
A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

I don't get it. Most people have a nice setup at home. Sounds like it sucks at a WeWork. Bunch of millenials jabbering away while you're trying to get something done, all buzzed on espresso and beer.

Most of the activity in my office is time spent trying to teach boomers how to use our tech

Untrue. Boomers are REALLY bad, IME, at figuring technology shit out. Anything new? Can't figure it out. And the only constant, especially in IT, is change.
In your defense, though, almost all tech kinda sucks. It's really nice to occasionally (rarely?) come across some technology that's really good (i.e. just works).

I honestly do not believe working remote is ever going to gain any more traction than it has already, at least in the sense that you can go live wherever you want with basically zero face time. There are only so many positions that can accommodate that realistically. I do think that in the next 20 years you will see a shift towards a hybrid type model where you can work from home 2-3 days a week at most while still being at the office for meetings, sales, etc.
There are several factors for this, whether it is efficiency, productivity, or just inherent human nature in that we are social creatures. Plus anyone who has managed people before knows at least some of them are going to slack off.Live Free or Die

Oh boy. Listen, young man, I really hope you have your job forever , (haha, forever is like five years these days), because bragging about your glorious life in the mountains while you're happy that somebody gets all the work at the home office, and then, if you are in an office, plot to screw the girls, a really really smart move, especially in these MeToo days, is a really really bad life plan. Unless, of course, you are a walking talking product of nepotism. Or just waiting for your inheritance.
At least you can get fired by email. No, awkward, please come down to conference room B with your key card.
