I thought there was a lot of gray area in there, depending on the country. If you go to a conference or a meeting in some countries, for example, you are obviously "working" while on that visa, arguably remote, and it's often the case that is done on a "tourist" visa for many countries. I thought this was the case for most EU, and it's the case for some South American countries.

Some countries obviously don't allow that - I recall I needed an invitation for China and South Africa, for example for some conferences, although I think they were still tourist visas.

You will get questionned heavily by US customs if you travel "too much" to U.S. even for conferences (you better have proofs for these as well). It is accepted for a conference because duration is short. But they get highly suspicious for longer periods.
