You should get outside of your bubble! You are one of the few people who is in the 10% global population living outside cities who is educated, isn't poor or struggling financially. Data don't lie.

This only happens organically in the US and Northern Europe due to double condition of incredibly high GDP and a geographic morphology which is incredibly sparse and/or with lots of mountains and rugged terrain. 2 or 3 countries =! the world.

In light of this, you being able to negotiate a good compensation while working 100% remotely, in sectors that can be both defined by economists as advanced tertiary services then who has to get out of their bubble?

I am sure Sudanese villagers will be able to do just the same if you provide them with Starlkinks. Not!

Canada too. Also Australia. Don't forget New Zealand. Friends in Mexico use it to work remotely. South Africa too. Also remember Argentina, Brazil and Chile.

Expats don't count, their wealth is still originating from rich countries
Plenty of locals using it in all those countries.
