"Think of how many times companies miss out on really good developers just because they're not open to remote workers."
Assuming that this is a real problem and not a pseudoproblem[1], then one would think that market forces would eventually resolve it. (Companies full of remote working superstars should outperform the rest.) But if the equilibrium is one in which remote workers are in low demand, well, that's how markets work.
[1] By which I mean, the evidence here seems mostly anecdotal. It's easy to claim that you're more productive when working remotely, but on average, how productive are remote workers, when considering all relevant factors. I would like to see some hard evidence on this point.
