I think people often combine remote with asynchronous. You can have people who work 3PM to midnight in the office, when everyone else is working 9-5 and it can be annoying for communication.
I like the idea that those are separate things and when people hire remote engineers they should go for engineers in the same time zone or ones who want to work synchronously wherever they are.
