It's my personal headcanon for The Mandalorean, that they didn't bring Baby Yoda back in S3 for marketing reasons, but because everyone suddenly realizing that Kylo Ren murders all of Luke's students a few years later.
But then, we also got that Young Jedi series, and that implication.
I think what these articles miss is, at least for my part, and likely others, all my "non work friends" are already remote.
I can just as easily have "work friends" who are remote. And they are more likely to also be people I want to be "non work friends" with.
