Because they are citizens of a foreign country so if they break contact it can be harder to enforce legal punishment. Given the level of access some roles need it can require more scrutiny on who is hired. Slacking off is the least bit of concern here.
Most remote hires are not citizens of a foreign country, where did you even get that?
And you wouldn't give a recent hire access to very sensitive internas anyway in nearly all cases.
I dont have any data but from experience and vibes a majority of remote hires are foreign. Why would someone pay someone nz wage to work remote when you can hire someone who is probably twice as qualified for a quarter of the price.
The only locals that work remote have gotten the job then moved to remote work after they were established in the company.
It might be different in the us where you actually have a ton of local talent within the massive country.
Yeah, that is definilty different in the US and the EU. In fact remote hires from foreign countries are often not feasible due to buroecratic red-tape associated with it.
