I recently watched an 1990 Steve Jobs interview[1] in which he gushed about this very idea as being a workflow of the future. Since the "desktop revolution" was old news, he was moving on to the "business process revolution" (something like that), enabled by networked computers. Companies would love it because it removed the friction of traditional employee work roles/titles and geography, and allowed managers to observe communication and measure stuff. It's interesting to see a company actually doing pretty much exactly what Jobs described in the video.
Although obviously, open source has used that model with great success.
