This is true in some organizations, but it can depend on the culture and assumptions that people have about remote working. There are many companies that are bought into having people all in the same place because it helps with "velocity", or whatever management are into at the time. The irony is that many companies producing collaboration tools to support remote work software fall into this category of employer.
Teams are composed of individuals, and we've set up things so that if the team doesn't depend on the knowledge of one individual. However, we still have people working remotely and the engineers are valued because they create value, not because they hoard knowledge.
