>Remote means not building genuine relationships with any coworkers.
I would argue most relationships with coworkers aren't genuine. You might have a different metric for this, but mine is that when you change jobs, these relationships evaporate.
FWIW, I've worked remotely for 10+ years and some of my good friends are remote. We live on opposite sides of the country, and in one case the globe. But we catch up with each other, know about each others families, etc. And we haven't worked for the same employer in years.
