I don't think the implication is that "fully/100% remote" is inherently good, but that it is an important quality to a population. For example, I only seek fully remote work, so knowing that a position is 100% remote is critical to my search when looking at jobs.

There's more to it than that. You don't want to be "the remote guy" on the team. You want the whole team to be remote. Otherwise, you are going to have a far less pleasant experience and no chance at career growth.

I don't think you even need everyone to be remote. I've noticed that its enough to just have two separate offices with teams that have a mix of employees between those two offices.

Once you have that, adding people that are fully remote becomes almost trivial, since you are already accounting for most cases where people aren't always in a single space.
