"Many organizations that attempted to force a return to the office have had to retract or change their plans because of employee pushback, and now, they don't look strong,"

Too bad the employer wasn't the one paying the salaries of the employees, then they'd be in a strong position, wait, what?

Exactly.

What I see happening is most private sector employees will eventually be forced back in the office - with some exceptions for some people - but most government employees will end up staying at home.

So now they not only will they (gov employees) get paid for not doing anything, they will be able to do nothing in the comfort of their own homes.

For strong, well-qualified employees, salary is fungible. Anyone can pay it. For employers, talent isn't quite so fungible. They can't get just anyone to fill those positions.

That only really works if no other employers are hiring.

It's the customers who pay the salaries. The company and the employees may change.

Companies who accessed better talent who are working remotely have more to offer their customers.
