For a real example, one of my friends worked at a FAANG in Vancouver. When he asked for higher pay, the FAANG told him he would need to move to Seattle or else, by internal policy, they wouldn't be allowed to pay him more.

So instead of working-from-home in Vancouver, he moved 200 km south to work-from-home in Seattle, and now they pay him more. (Cost of living is lower, too.)

Strange, if you ask me.
