Remote, distributed, asynchronous - they're not all synonymous. Remote is simply that, far apart, so I think it's fair to say that if a company primarily employs people who work from wherever they may be, then I'm fine with them wearing the "remote" badge. There is absolutely nothing in the word "remote" that implies synchronicity or otherwise, everything else is just a matter of opinion, or taste, or what's practical and works.
