Moving to a small rural village comes with significant downsides. Say you have kids. How's the daycare? Is there any? Can they get a good education? Can you trust basic infrastructure to be there in the future? A lot of these places are dying.
Then there's the issue of community. If you're going to settle somewhere, you probably want friends. You want your children to have friends. As a foreigner moving in, working remotely, you have very little going for you in terms of getting integrated. Even if you do put in the work to become a member of the community, you're not guaranteed to fit in. When you move to a big city and have a job there, you'll meet people and find a niche that fits you. In a small village, that's much harder.
