In my line of business (WPML Contractor and WordPress Consultant) I need access to people's sites. If people cannot (or like you say in your article don't want to) give me access, then it simply is impossible for me to do my job.

There is no way that I would accept doing my work via a Google Hangout or Skype call, that simply is not the way I work and I should not have to instruct the client to jump to this and then that screen.

This has to do with being reputable and having made a name in the industry. Would I even be a WPML Contractor if I would not be trustworthy? No, of course not!

Your article really is the wrong approach, instead of seeding fear, you could have approached this from a much more positive angle.
