I hate to go as cliche as "surprising absolutely no one," but really, this is not a surprise.

I wonder where they went?

I think this is the real question.

Did they quit and join a competitor who offered a better WFH option? Or did they get a taste of the good parts of white collar pandemic life

no commute, flexible hours, work from anywhere

and decide that actually, their entire identity is not just their professional life, and maybe they should retire to see the world/spend time with family?

There are definitely some high profile rage quits over return to office, but I think there are a lot more of the "hey this was fun but time to take care of myself" quits.
