I like how an MIT CS professor put it to me once: He stays home to work, and goes to work to socialize.

Most people are not digitally native, and as in my original comment, management layers are especially social. So I'd expect deep work orgs to be more remote-friendly: small technical startups like ours are happy fully remote, and it's an advantage. In contrast, most sales/marketing/large orgs are less remote-friendly: 1+ days in office, bad promotion paths for fully remote, ... . Not inherent and always exceptions, but just about what's typical, natural, & easy.
