If one needs to read the room or care about facial expressions in one's meetings rather than believing and trusting one's coworkers' actual responses, one is a shitty manager / executive. The video part of remote meetings is equivalent to micromanaging work except now one's micromanaging the meeting. The goals and outcome are the same. Doubly so for anything involving building software as it's clearly possible and often desirable to work almost completely asynchronously for most tasks as much of the open source community does.
