Point being when a company (public company at least) sees how much money they can save cutting certain costs, it’s difficult to justify bringing it back.
What happens if employees are told to work at home for a few weeks or months and it’s found to be successful? The whole office landscape could change.

That's exactly it. Business will go on just fine without the conventions and physical meetings in the majority of settings. In fact, it might do better.
Transportation time is really inefficient in a lot of ways and many an employee has completely lost their #$% on company trips and gotten themselves fired...it's like uncaging wild animals with some of these peeps...all that expense and drama just goes away...
Now, not saying this is for ALL industries..etc, but I'm with you. A lot of companies will not go back to what they used to do.
