Yes, but you rarely can put it in the open this way. It's one thing to say "I think remote teams are hard to make work efficiently, let's not risk that" and another is "I crave control so I won't allow remote teams even if it were easy to make it work". And you could get away with the former easily as top management is happy with "don't mess with a thing that works" approach. But now when we'll have an example of remote teams working, the former argument is dead. Now if your real argument is the latter, you won't be able to lay it bare for everybody to see, so insisting on banning remote work would be way harder.
