But for example in my case, I do still come back to my home country for decent chunks of time that still adds up to around half the year. I'm working for a US company and every country I have visited thus far mention it's perfectly fine to stay and work for some amount of time (usually 90 days) as long as it's not displacing a local job. I'm not a tax expert or anything but I don't see what the issue is here or why I'd need a work permit in the first place?

Because you're usually on a tourist visa and those will say something about "not working" with varying language. Since your "working" looks identical to "dicking around on a laptop" it's unlikely to draw attention, but if you were to piss off the right person at the wrong time, they might be able to drop a train on you (but even then the most likely thing is being kicked out of the country, but some countries could get very "spicy"). Of course, if you were a rock star coming in to perform, they'd definitely want their cut even if you were only performing for a day. The laws haven't advanced to cover this situation entirely well, so there's a lot of leeway on what you can get away with.
