This is a fear that remote work would somehow not provide value, not a fact. The perhaps unconscious choice of adjectives - "reliable" seems particularly indicative of a fear. If one isn't in a high security requirement field where things like usb ports are locked down even in office, why is there worry about data exposure with remote vs in office work?
