My impression is that management roles won't migrate to remote nearly as easily as dev roles and overall demand for dev managers (that aren't hands on) will decrease.
This is from personal experience - all our "management teams" went back into the office, and scrum masters are pretty much sitting on their hands.
If all devs are remote, then it makes sense for the manager to be remote too. There is no reason to go to an empty office (unless your manager wants face time and cannot deal with remote reportees).
With my entire family WFH and the prospect of school not being full time, I have a MASSIVE incentive to go to the office. I'll have a reasonably comfortable place to work! I also find the commute to be useful for gearing up to and winding down from work.

Completely agree. Been a dev manager but I've mostly been hands-on. I've no problem working as a Dev too but my preference is an EM role.
