This is very likely just selection bias. Companies who's founders choose to be remote first are going to vary philosophically from in office companies in more than just one way. In my experience, remote first companies tend to be less focused on growth at all costs and less wrapped up in hustle culture. That probably does mean sacrificing growing revenue at the fastest possible rate, but in order to draw the broader conclusions from this that people are trying to ascribe to it you would need to have both a much higher powered study, and have a study where companies are randomly assigned to in office or remote so that you can control for all the possible confounders.
