This hints at the greater tension between employees wanting to get a better life for themselves and corporations wanting to maximize profits. Companies are probably vomiting at the idea that individuals could set up a scenario where they are well paid, have a low COL and save for an early retirement, when that value could be captured for the company.

Finding good people is still hard. There is no "should" in the question, the real questions are: As an employee: "Will your employer try to pay you based on where you live, and if so, how can you avoid this."
