Let's say you do that:
1. Send giant HD of OTP bits to other office.
2. Everyone at that office who needs to communicate, so you make those bits accessible on the internal network so various machines can get to it.
3. Now a hacker that accesses the network can get to your OTP bits.
At that point, you're no better than using some other security mechanism.

Which is on an internal network so is not exposed (unlike the contents of a VPN which necessarily goes external) so can be more secure. While nothing's unhackable it adds an extra layer to break through. That the article says "It was very sophisticated and targeted the VPN which connected the company to Airbus" shows the VPN was the weak link, and not the internal networks. So harden the weakest link.
