On the other hand, I usually find people are generally observant of your desk space, especially if you look really busy with something. But remotely, you're constantly interrupted by incessant notifications from the slack channels you're in, from people directly messaging you to see if you're available for something and from an increase in 30 minute meetings to replace what should have been a 5 minute chat at someone's desk. And that's not counting having to actually stop what you're doing and literally switch tasks and screens to go read through all the slack messages and emails you've missed. And that doesn't account for the extra time you have to spend going and correcting a conversation that went off the rails that you could have helped solve faster if only you'd known it was happening, but since it happened in another window while you were heads down, and not at the desk 5 feet away where you could hear it, you missed everything before the folks in question went way down a rabbit hole.
