If you dig deeper you'll find the biggest proponents are the operators with Ryan Air at the top. And given how the EASA is run vs the FAA, IMO its only an EU thing. However, there are also a number of ICAO working papers on this. Regardless, until you start to see the certification of cockpit modifications to a single pilot configuration, or a clean sheet proposal of the same, I doubt it will move much in the next 20 years. There's a lot that must happen on an international level behind the scenes first to even start the process unless a single country attempts it on their own and only in their airspace.
