One of the best things about remote work is that it puts the responsibility for the working environment on the individual rather than the organisation. Different people thrive in different environments, and forcing everybody into the same environment isn't going to get the best out of everybody. But people tend to know which environments they work best in, and remote work lets them work in the environment that suits them best. Do you need to lock yourself away in silence to concentrate? You can do that. Do you need human contact to stay sane? Go to a co-working space or coffee shop.

But there are some surprisingly paternalistic views out there about employer-employee relationships. You'll definitely find employees who believe it's the employer's responsibility to create a very structured environment where work happens, and managers who are very happy to go along with this.
