I don't think it is black and white. Also trust is not black and white, and trusted persons can turn bad and unrealiable persons can develop to be reliable and trustworthy. If you are sure that you bring the best value by working remotely, then just do it and explain the situation to potential employers. Some might be happy with that, some not. However to me it looks like the remote job market is about 100x more competitive than on-site. Employers seem to value being able to talk face-to-face etc, and in principle I don't think there is a lot wrong with that. If you don't like it, start a competing company which hires remote people - it is a free market. If remote working is truly more effective, remote work should get more common.
