Assuming their statistics are sound, could it simply be that companies with good product-market fit can afford offices? Going full-remote seems to be a popular cost-cutting measure at some of the companies doing layoffs these days (e.g. GitHub), and especially pre-revenue it may not make sense to spend thousands of dollars a month on office space.
Additionally: For startups that start in a garage, like Apple originally, is that in office or remote?
