Because you can’t resupply as quickly as commuting people need


need gas. My round trip is 70 miles and even if I do no driving between buildings, that’s about a tank a week. People like me who get gas often (and don’t work from home much) will still need gas and a tanker truck at a time doesn’t happen overnight.
Plus the pipeline going back “live” doesn’t mean it magically comes out at the other end immediately. I think I read it takes a day or two to travel the length of the pipeline and then the process to get it out can begin. This will not be over as quickly as would all like it to be.
Your theory is academic without looking at the actual situation.
