more specifically, it was white collar workers who got to keep working as they traded in the office for Zoom and Teams while the blue collar service-based workforce was either out of a job or had the assume the in-person risk

That's a fair take. The people who faced the most risk were renamed "essential workers." The minute vaccines were available, we went back to treating them like shit and not valuing the essential work they do. Also, bosses sending workers to do a dangerous task they won't do creates moral injury.

This definitely happened, but it wasn't got the culture warriors going, as they're also fine with treating the highest risk workers like shit. The resentment was entirely about what they themselves were prevented from doing: the appeal to liberal hypocrisy was always a post hoc justification

Yelling at service workers is one of the last perks most magats enjoy. I said Double Mocha cappuccino. Where's your manager?
