I don't know about "slam-dunk" in the sense of 'silver bullet'. But I don't find your argument convincing at all.
Why would you think that large companies, entrenched in their ways, would be capable of switching overnight to any paradigm?
Remote-work happens as most new things tend to: mostly in small companies. But it's becoming more and more common, for good reasons. There's no reason for that not to continue. And the lack of massive, immediate adoption isn't an argument for or against anything.
To cite pg's awesome OSCON talk: "I'm saying that companies will learn these lessons the way that a gene pool learns about new conditions."
