Salary is about how easy you are to replace, and nothing else. Remote workers are easy to replace because you can go all around the world to find someone to do the work. Why pay COL to someone in Mississippi when you can pay much less for someone in India? |

I can think of some reasons:
timezone,
because you're looking for someone who can do the job well. That's not "someone in India" at the very least that's someone qualified enough in India (definitely not the same hourly rate),
language/accent/cultural awareness/ease of communication/market awareness (I'm saying this as a non-American non-native English speaker),
availability of high quality tools in house/lab that the Indian counterpart can't get his hands on,
And so on.
PS: the low COL world is larger than India. There are options such as (Eastern) Europe that are full of highly educated tech people without jobs and... well.. the rest of the world? Why always India?
