To give an example from an employer side, we do remote but we restrict roughly to the EU countries and the east-coast of the US (we do exceptions but only in really exceptional cases). We are incorporated in the US and use Deel for the other countries. There are two reasons we restrict like this: one is that we know that working across timezones gets difficult if there is almost no time overlap between business hours. And the second is that, even if Deel makes it easy to hire in a lot of countries, that's not everything. They don't cover, for example, stock options, and you need to respect the laws in that country that you have no idea of, meaning in practice that you'll spend quite a bit on lawyers to evaluate risks. For a single employee, it's usually not worth it.
