Yeah, this feels like the same thinking behind "the salary we offered you was calculated to just barely allow comfortable living in the city you applied from. So if you now work remotely and move to a cheaper city, you're stealing from us!!"

Oh, unless you're a company of course, then it's just arbitrage.
