1. There are lots of remote jobs now.  Remote interviews help organizations to see that you'll be able to communicate effectively in a remote role.
2. It's a more respectful way to interview if the person currently has a job. It can be hard to take time off the job you have to interview for a new job. Video interviews remove the commute time needed, especially for early rounds. It's nice to do a final interview in person, when that's feasible.
3. Even if the job isn't remote, you might work with people in other locations (global offices, sales people in the field, customers, etc.) over video calls so interviewing in this way helps to assess whether you'll be able to operate this way.

There are lots of reasons why video interviews are legit and a good option. If you prefer in-person you can request that, but my organization would not accommodate because we treat all candidates the same so we invite them all in, or none of them.[/quote]
