I'm pretty sure you're correct. In the very least, teams would have to travel long distances to compete in FTC competitions if they live in a remote location. For example, Alaskan VRC teams could do a youtube video of their Skills challenge submission, yet they probably wouldn't even bother flying to a state competition due to the large distances. I'm also pretty sure that in the more rural parts of the country there are few FTC competitions (though that's based on conjecture and I don't have time to look it up atm). I'd say it's more of a VRC pro than an FTC con.
