    Not only nobody needs to do that trip that fast, but we’re not in the early 00’s anymore, and there has never been as many tools to communicate and collaborate remotely. So I’d expect a non-negligible part of these don’t even need to do the trip anymore if they want to save money and time.

      I’d say using “nobody” is unwarranted… some people might’ve needed at some point. Regardless, it’s not a need, it’s a want.
