It's not an excuse by the company to pay less. It's an excuse by the employee to earn less. Employees will accept a lower income for the advantages that come with working remote. For instance, I would need a much much much higher salary to be convinced to move back to SF for work. I will voluntarily agree to earn less for the same work if I am able to work from my home office. To a company, paying me less may be more attractive than paying someone in else SF more. Remember, you are bidding against other applicants when you apply for job.
