I've been working remotely for 2.5 years now, and it takes a lot of effort, both from me and from my boss, to keep this going, and even with all that effort I've struggled with interpersonal/communication issues.
Not everyone is willing to invest in that effort.
It would almost certainly be better if I were sitting in a chair at my office, but since I can't, remote work is the next best thing, and as long as both my boss and I are willing to work pretty damn hard to keep it going, it'll keep working.
But I can totally see how some teams would not want to go through the extra effort. I like to think I'm worth it, but my team got to figure that out while I worked on-site for some time before leaving (a year). It's hard to roll the dice on someone you don't know (a new hire).
