Interestingly enough, when I was working with JavaScript and PHP, this was very common. Companies that like to "own" their employees, remote work was seen as bad, flexibility was zero. Then I moved away from the mainstream tech, and I no longer have any of this. I'm now treated with respect, I get paid well, I'm 100% remote for many years already. It's funny how companies take you for granted when they can replace you within a day, and treat you well when they can't. That's why I recommend people to take up something that isn't done by a lot of people.
Oh and, as an Estonian myself, I do not recommend e-residency. If all you want is a company, then the e-residency is one of the worst ways to go about it. In terms of cost, flexibility, taxes, etc.
Closure ? Why not, never thought it had a big demand for it. I was a perler for a while but demand dried up ;)
As for e-residency, I guess it depends on your situation. As a resident (expat) of a country no sane company would do business with, with no bank transfers possible, setting that up was easy, cheap and saved my business.
I don't want to evade taxes, just be able to do business, and it does serve that purpose beautifully
