How is it a perk? You provide your own equipment, give up some of your personal space, do your own support, the company saves on rent, cleaning, utility bills, equipment, furniture, security... and they convince you its such a perk you should be paid less too! Remote workers should be more highly paid! The boss is laughing all the way to the bank!
Remote isn't for everyone but is a perk for many.
As always, your rate is only ever as high as you set it.
In particular, my last employer gave everyone the option to use an app[1] for easy access to email on their personal phones. I refused to install it, since it gave my (then) employer the ability to remotely wipe my phone at the press of a button.

Wiping a personal device to delete business data within one app would be illegal in a lot of countries.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't - the point is that you need to give your employer the permission to wipe your entire device. And even if you trust them - whose to say there will never be a bug that triggers that code path?
