Location based pay for "in-person" jobs makes sense. You are trying to convince a person to live and work in a specific locale and the requires different amounts of money depending on the location. But for jobs which are fully remote, the pay should be the same regardless of where you live.

If a person wants to live in Thailand so they can save more of their paycheck vs living in NYC where they could enjoy city life, that is a tradeoff for the employee to make and the employer should not care.
