Location based pay adjustments will stop being a thing when competition for remote workers will justify it. Companies want location-based pay because they can get away with it: either they think office-first will return, or they think more workers from cheaper areas will be available, so no need to pay more. Whether this will happen remains to be seen. Personally, I think location-based pay will fail to attract top talent, so it'll diminish in prevalence over time. But my conjecture is as good as yours.
