This goes back to "costs". Time is money, and support takes time.

Bottom line: home workers are a win/lose proposition for any given
IT dep't. Sure, the company may save money overall, but supporting
and securing remote users is generally going to cost an IT dep't more
money.

I find it rather telling less federal workers are eligible for remote access
than in 2006 due to security concerns. And that almost a third of
private-sector employees are unaware of security policies certainly
reflects my experience.

Again, these issues go back to "time"...an especially precious commodity
in IT.
