I work remotely (on and off) since 2012. Neither directly nor indirectly have I ever seen offshoring being considered because of people working remote.

In my experience, people working remote are often in the same timezone or even in the same area. Thus, they can easily come to the office if needed. They often share the same working habits, the same culture of communication and they speak the same language. This does not alway apply to offshoring.

Well yes, but that's moving the goalposts.

This is true. Timezone differences can introduce real delays and slow down the work.
