Its a trust issue. It probably means that said employer lacks management skills.

I haven’t hired anyone as a developer remotely who I don’t trust to get in with the work, in other words I would not remote monitor nor would I work for someone who did.

I think they may lack management skills, but also lack skills in managing remote workers in general. This could well be a condition put in by a non dev manager.
