Speaking as a parent whose daughter is homeschooled, I can say that many (most?) "homeschooled" students are getting at least some of the curriculum from a coop, company, or part-time school. The parents having to develop the whole curriculum was more common when homeschooling was a rarer thing; there are now lots of organizations (for-profit and otherwise) catering to them.

Plus, homeschool coops give the kids more social interaction, which many families prefer.

I think the big difference about "remote schooling" is that once you're doing that, it raises the question of "is my public school the one that is best at this, or should I use someone else?" In some cases they may be, but often they are not.
