It strikes me as odd that a company whose software facilitates distributed teams so well doesn't embrace a remote workforce. I'm a Notion user with a ton of ideas and would love to help improve the app but there's just no way I could move to SF to do that.

Slack was on-site only until the current situation. It's shocking how pervasive this mindset is in the bay area.
Wow, that's mad.

It's like a company that sells bikes not letting staff cycle to work.

It's a valid view point that has equal weight to remote teams. In person dynamics among a team is very different from remote. Whether one way is more effective than the other is unproven, but there is definitely a huge difference and at it's worth considering what type of team dynamic you're trying to build at a company.
