It allows them to sidestep osha requirements also. Many bay area tech workers will now work in dangerously subpar housing (think asbestos, lead, inadequate ventilation). Some of these workers will suffer long term health consequences as a result. Workers who get cancer or illments due to sick building syndrome can sue. Remote workers cannot. This is less of an issue for those who relocate to areas with newer and more affordable housing, but some will stay in rundown apartments in Sunnyvale. I think the businesses are getting a much better deal than many seem to realize.
