A few reasons why this outsourcing is more extensive than you might think:

Latency: (cheap labour is usually far away from the match). This makes teleoperation harder.

Bandwidth (TV ops run from a van in a car park - so getting a reliable video feed out is expensive).

Logistics: you still need to hire, train and utilise that person effectively.

Reliability: what if your remote operator's internet goes down?
