What is the point with Remote work if you can't work abroad?

Question

Getting real tired companies that "support" remote work but still want you to be located in a city or a specific country.I think we should use another term since remote no longer means what (at least what I think) it used to be.Suggestions on new terms:Distributed work, workforce is distributed across countriesAsynchronous work, https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/asynchronous/What do you think?

Don't blame the company, blame the governments of the world for their differing tax and employment rules.

You can work abroad, just don't say anything and follow the laws. Make sure you don't spend the maximum time outside the US to be considered a resident, don't over stay in what ever country you choose to work from (90 days Schengen Zone every 180 day period), Canada is 90 days, etc. Don't even tell your employer if they let you work from home and don't require to come in.
