The whole point is these states/locales offered big tax incentives to companies to open offices in their states, with the benefit being that companies would bring jobs and tax revenue to those states. With remote work the primary benefit to those states is lost.
Perhaps one other benefit to remote work is states will stop with this "race to the bottom", where big, rich companies pit states against each other for bigger handouts. Remember the whole "Amazon HQ2" fiasco from a couple years back where all these states got totally played by Amazon? With increased remote work an "HQ2" makes even less sense.
