"Remote" is just one possibility. It can also be local under a different UID, or it could be local in a virtual machine, ... The way I think of it is that this argument to `make-process` tells Emacs that this `make-process` call should be considered a file operation, in the sense that the place where the process is run will be chosen according to default-directory and file-name-handler-alist.
