It depends on whether the hypothetical service in question is entirely commoditized or not. For most professional services I think not (similar to medicine - there are some exceptions). My dad is a veteran software engineer and steered all his sons away, thinking the future of swe would all be outsourced to India but that certainly didnt happen despite what has now been ~15 years of technological ability to do so.
This is already happening & when Bay Area employees want to move to a LCOL area & keep their same salary, it just incentivizes firms to expand offshore staff or hire staff from LCOL areas. Many people from LCOL areas would be happy to work at a high profile company for a fraction of what a Bay Area job would typically pay
More work for consultants on other side of that. It’s fun working with clients to help unravel their offshore messes.
Ignore this MD. He's an Indian at a WITCH company, clearly talking his book.

I’m smelling an agenda that is attempting to ride the remote work wave and it isn’t about trying to get people to return to the office.

ITAR, GDPR, and the like. Sometimes even when you want to outsource (I love my follow-the-sun team), you can’t because the government or the client won’t let you.
Having a security clearance mitigates this threat
In some places, there are government regulations that’ll hinder this. LMIA in Canada for example.
Back office is already in India. If not - you’re doomed as a company. If you’re paying full time wages for a US resource to run AP / AR - good luck and god bless 😁

This is Clay Christensen’s Innovator’s Dilemma model in a nutshell. Sure, offshore the technical work - it’s low margin anyway. Sure offshore the back office stuff - it’s low value anyway. With each wave, it’s the right choice, but it slowly builds capabilities in the offshore markets that enables them to bite off the next piece of “low value” work from the US onshore teams. I think OP has a point - not that ALL work will go offshore, but that the US teams will become a thinner and thinner relationship layer.
