Why do you limit remote applicants with "US-only"?

Dealing with remote employees is already something of an effort. It churlish to take the minority of companies willing to do it and complain that they aren't doing it enough because they want to stick with their native legal and social system.

(Can I let go of my remote employee in London? Do I need to "show cause"? How much will it cost me just to get a lawyer to answer that?)

Hire as a [long-term] contractor and that's it.
Timezones mostly, though actually we aren't as strict as that anymore, and I should edit it.
