It's nice that remote-only works well for SureSwift, but they're a early stage finance company. As such, they don't really need a ton of collaboration between internal employees. Many firms with similar internal dynamics (some types of consultants, call centers, etc) can, I suspect, be mostly remote. But not every company operates like they that. Many companies even have, gasp, locations that must be staffed! Factories, warehouses, retail outlets, distribution nodes, etc.
I wish pieces like the posted article talked less about the "advantages" of remote work (which seem to be fairly obvious to everyone, no?), and more about the challenges they faced in successfully creating a remote-work culture. And how they overcame those challenges (and what didn't work too). I have found that the effectiveness remote teams is highly dependent on the little details of how they are managed, how communications works, etc. More color on those details might actually be helpful.
