You may have the time to take 5 days to cross the country by rail to a very limited amount of cities, and for an absurd amount of money, but not everyone else does.

Until the US decides that railroad track nationalization and infrastructure investment should be a priority, intercity flights will be a common and in demand service.

I don't have a job that allows me to do this currently. But I'd imagine that any shift in society that would allow for more work-from-home hours and more time off would also shift administrative responsibilities from managerial roles since it requires more cooperation and autonomy within the work unit to achieve. There are lots of process documentation tasks that my department needs to do right now but simply doesn't have the time or incentive to focus on.
