Because it is a hard problem to solve. I think most good organizations make remote work an exception rather than the rule. I think the reason is because very few people are able to manage the trials of working for a large organization and work remote. It involves being able to distinguish between when to converse via the written text and when to get ready to jump on a call or talk face to face. Consequently, it also imposes an overhead on the part of the non-remote team to assiduously convert all in-person/ad hoc conversations into text and loop the remote person in. It also sometimes necessitates a person who is able to be high functioning and effectively independent of the rest of the team. Now in cases where both of these are possible, I can imagine a startup letting some people do remote. Personally, I would think of this as an unnecessary overhead if I were to start an early stage startup.
