Ignoring the snark. This will change as technology is adopted, go back 40 years (or even less) and a person walking around staring at a little black rectangle would have been perceived as weird and anti-social. We used to make fun of people talking on the phone via bluetooth headsets and now everyone does it with AirPods or whatever.

If you've got the technology to enable you to seamlessly transition from working in your home to working while sitting outside at a cafe to working while sitting on a blanket under a tree in the park to working wherever you feel like it then there will be enough brave people that say "fuck what other people think" and just do it so they can enjoy being active and getting fresh air and eventually more and more people will join them. Eventually we'll reach the point where sitting inside at a desk for 8-12 hours will be the weird thing.
