Please see how did we start paying team members according to the location in the first place and why we did it here: https://about.gitlab.com/2019/02/28/why-we-pay-local-rates/

Then why don't you do region based pricing as well?
Customers really hate price discrimination, especially if the company has a reputation for transparency. Employees don’t mind regional discrimination so much (and if they do, they don’t work for Gitlab).
Not sure that reasoning flies.

Many more customers would be on gitlab if regional pricing exists. The profit number would go down though.

More candidates would apply to work for gitlab without the policy.

In both cases gitlab makes more money. Which is fine but spinning it doesn't seem right.
