You are not wrong, but that's why we try to focus on the direct need: shared time to directly collaborate with others in the company, rather than secondary expressions of those needs, like "must be in the US." It's true that means that this won't be a fit for a lot of people, but that's always the case with every job. (This is also why our job descriptions tend to not say things like "must have X years of Rust experience" and instead say things like "you will thrive in this role if you appreciate the hard-won thrill of debugging a knotty problem to root cause," because that's focusing on the direct need we have for the position.)
