"Should remote workers have their pay reduced if they move somewhere cheap?" Who is anyone to say one way or another? It's a negotiation between 2 parties. Employee will try to argue that value they bring is indifferent of where they are based and employer will try to argue that employees are a) less valuable when remote and/or b) more replaceable by other similar workers in those/similar locations. Either part will try to call each other bluff. Both will learn that it's ultimately expensive to take an absolute approach and likely to negotiate a middle ground. I don't buy that remote-only companies benefit by being able to quickly arbitrage by hiring only from cheapest places because you can only remain truly remote when vast majority of your workers are all in various locations, not pooled together in certain locations.
