Love that you feel so passionate about it! We are part of that community, and we're doing this so that more people can enjoy working remotely as well. It changed my life in many positive ways and there's nothing we want to take away from it, quite the opposite. We own the domain, we don't own something that is a way of life for which we have tremendous respect.

You own a domain. That domain doesn't give you ownership of the term remote. You seem to be trying to appropriate it and I hope that doesn't happen.
Remote to my grandmother is what she uses to change channel. To us is a way of life. It means different things to different people. There's no appropriation being done here, nor do we plan to do so. We fundamentally respect what it means to be remote and we're only a way to improve it and make it more mainstream, nothing more.
