Many software companies lack formal training programs and documentation processes that juniors need to grow. They come to depend on informal training/documentation like tapping a senior on the shoulder to ask about a legacy piece of code.
The solution is to invest heavily in regimented training programs with clear KPIs (key performance indicators), better documentation, and a certain level of redundancy so that remote stakeholders can hold eachother accountable.
Obviously this isn't super attractive to C levels so they are trying to hire "Senior" developers who "don't need training". It's not working out great for them (IMO).

Realize how I don't mention remote once because failures by remote worker are symptoms of problems that still exist even if everyone is in the same broom closet all day.
