I guess it's just somewhat poor wording to call it 'conflict of interest'. Maybe the post would benefit from a disclaimer - "I happen to be a big proponent of remote work and even wrote a book about how great it is. So I bring a set of pre-existing views to this issue" Point being is that when someone is a proponent of something (to the tune of publishing a book extolling it), you hardly expect them to offer an unbiased analysis. Omitting that fact is kinda wrong.
