Exactly this. Companies that offer remote work are going to get their pick of employees, while companies that live in the past are going to subsist on what's left. Remote work can easily substitute for a huge amount of pay, because for a lot of employees that pay cut is less than what they'll save by not having to live in, say, San Francisco.
