It absolutely shows commitment to me getting a job, sure, but it shows that the company fundamentally doesn't trust remote workers. I would assume that I'd be spending a lot of time being asked to fly out as time went on.

There's a difference between trusting remote employees and aspiring employees.

I wouldn't hold it against the company if they want to do proper due diligence on a prospective employee especially given real-world accounts of such frauds occurring.

Why should an aspiring employee trust that a company is going to allow 100% remote if the first thing the company expects you to do is to travel into the office?

Fully remote does not necessarily mean zero travel and very often doesn’t.

Then it's not fully remote.

adverb: fully

1. completely or entirely

It absolutely does mean zero travel.
