> power is the goal (their power over you)

working remotely gives too much power to workers because interviewing elsewhere becomes so inexpensive. In fact I'd argue most remote devs that are not already at the top of their potential compensation/status (say, someone working in the linux kernel team) are interviewing constantly. Most companies not aiming for top tallent are better off taking on contractors than remote full time developers.
