Thing is, technology may have evolved but people haven't. Our logical and rational software runs on an OS that's basically emotional.
I don't travel often but when I do get to go and spend a week with people and go through stuff together in person, eat with them once or twice, maybe go out for drinks together, it changes everything about how we work together afterwards and that lasts for the rest of the time we work together.
I can see we (humans) might have to say "Nope, can't do that anymore and that's that" but it's not a no cost switch.
(But you are so right about the printers.)

but people haven't
Some people haven't. Other people see waste, pointless tasks, stupidity and try to change it.
Even pre-covid I would try to avoid work travel. It was almost always pointless and could've been conducted remotely (or with fewer people traveling - strength in numbers sales bullshit)

Yep, this ^.
Plus - not everyone is just signing paperwork. Being able to phiysically go over a product together in the same place is much more efficient than trying to do it over a call and has longer term communication benefits.

I certainly didn't wanna see any of my bandmates ever fucking again...

I find it amazing that companies are still flying people around in 2021.
It's like printers - why the fuck haven't we fixed this yet? Digital signing has been a thing for years. Get over the paper thing ffs.
