I wasn't talking salaries, I was talking about prices for selling products, same as thaumasiotes. I mentioned salaries only because payroll is a component of the production cost of a product.
And when it comes to location, I was talking about the location of the buyer. You're talking about the location of the employee. With a physical product being sold by onsite employees, the location of the buyer and the employee are the same. But with a digital product the location of the buyer and the employee are not necessarily the same, so something purchased in a high CoL area could have been produced by an employee in a low CoL area, and vice versa. So it doesn't make much sense to change the price of a product based on the location of the buyer in that case.
Typing this out, I realized there's an error in my previous comment, I didn't need to say "and fully remote employees". A digital product is sufficient to uncouple the employee's CoL from the buyer's CoL. The employees can all be onsite and the CoLs between the buyer and employees would still be uncoupled.
