I don't think it can go 100%. But yes it's certainly on the rise.

Many people (a substantial number I'd say) still believe that people don't work unless you make them. I guess that ideology alone makes thousands of people go to office everyday.

Then there's also the kind which believe in the very foundation of offices as institutions. They'd go in every day regardless of productivity and expect others to come too.

May be things might change when millenial population gains leadership or upper management positions.

This. I agree here, the core issue is rather the work ethics and that productiveness is individual.

For example, I work two days of the week at home and three at the office. This is how I found myself best to balance productivity with my personal demands.
