It doesn't make sense for remote workers to be paid based on location. But that doesn't mean remote workers should be paid as much as those who are working in the office in SF.
At the end of the day its supply/demand. When everyone worked in an office supply of great developers was limited. If you're remote suddenly the pool is larger. People used to live in low COL for other reasons not just cost.
You can argue that all the best developers used to live in the Bay Area, and if those people are distributed across the country the supply is the same.
