@WalterD Madrid: "I try to remove a simple pole that crosses the sky or eliminate a cap that sticks out with the ground background, let's say easy to eliminate, and it offers me pole or cap models, but it doesn't eliminate them."
Using your attached JPEG exported from the raw, I was able to quickly remove the powerline, the pole, and the cap in the corner:
Things to check:
1. I deselected Detect Objects. It doesn't work very well, especially with skinny objects and objects touching the edges, failing to select all of the object and often making the border around the object (which is necessary) way too big.
2. The metadata for the two JPEGs indicates that you cropped the original raws. Remove looks at all the pixels in a photo, included those that are cropped out, and it's generating replacements that match those unselected cropped-out pixels.
Adobe wants you to remove first, then crop (which doesn't match many people's natural workflow). So undo the crop, do Remove, then crop again.
If that doesn't help, you could be tripping over an obscure bug ("as-designed" according to Adobe) in which for some cameras, like your a6400, the raw files have a hidden border of pixels that automatically get cropped out. It's easy to handle that too:
You don't encounter this issue in Photoshop because a) It's Object Finder doesn't find the pole, wire, or cap, so you have to select them manually, and b) Photoshop's destructive editing model doesn't have the notion of cropped-out pixels -- they're simply not there.

Most complaints about Remove are addressed in the article.
@willy_9983: "It's about the remainder of a person on the bottom right of the image. I can't get rid of that."
With your attached .jpg, Remove immediately removed the remainder of the person from the bottom-right corner:
The image's metadata indicates that you cropped the image along all four sides. So when you applied Remove to the bottom-right corner, Remove was trying to match the unselected, cropped-out pixels. Adobe wants you to remove first, then crop (which doesn't match many people's natural workflow).

@lex_9408: "any removal with or without object removal selection replaces the subject (wife and dog) with a unwanted substitute (repetiveley)"
Be sure to select the shadow cast the by the woman and dog. If you don't select it, then Remove will try very hard to replace them with an object that also casts that shadow:
But when you add the shadow to the selection, it easily removes the woman and dog:
It's too bad that Detect Objects hasn't been trained to include shadows and reflections -- that would help users avoid this common problem.
