As someone who held a cubicle job for almost 24 years and held a "traditional job" in some form since I was 17 years old I can say working for myself is better in every way. I never enjoyed being under the complete control of someone else because most humans, especially in corporate America, are dysfunctional and very flawed. Now matter what job I had the boss had their favorites and if you were on the wrong side of that it was horrendous. Plus there were the office politics and drama that always ensued. I saw things you wouldn't believe. I witnessed two nervous breakdowns, people drunk on the job, back stabbing, the worst of human behavior all because people just weren't happy. 

I had a particularly stressful corporate job from 2009 to 2013 that drove me to the brink and probably took some years off my life. No job is ever worth that. 

If anything at all good came out of the pandemic it's been the "work at home" movement. Even though employees are still under the thumb of their companies they might get enough of a taste of freedom to feel comfortable taking the leap and becoming their own boss.

Since October 18, 2017 I've worked for myself and get lots more done and have way more to show for it. It was super scary for me as a Gen X'r at first but it's all worked out for the best. There is NO way I could ever go back to a traditional job.
