As a full time remote worker, I've also felt that having everyone else is great. In every case I've work with a colocated team, they end up snubbing you in weird ways.
This snubbing is just a cultural thing. There's no technical reason remote workers should feel left out if working with another team.
I've found that most colocated team members rarely write well, and often do not track, or even follow up on complex team decisions. When everyone is remote, it often forces some better communication. Frequently, the teams have to "double up" on the media used to communicate, which almost always requires some written communication.
Now that everyone's remote in quarantine, I've heard complaints from the colocators about "having to overcommunicate". But really, it's just learning to communicate well.
This metric of "how many all-remote workers want everyone else to be remote", really seems like a great test for "how well does your company communicate?"
