I suppose this could muddy the waters over WFH productivity. Assuming its incorrect that in-person workplace is more productive (personally believe WFH same or better, but its still up for debate and may depend on a few things), then, an employer might be foolish to pay extra to get people there in person... but.. once they do, the higher salaries might attract more highly skilled applicants, who are.. more productive! So then by paying a premium you get more productive people, but that's because they are inherently more productive not 'cos they're physically there, but.. it looks like its because they're physically there, this reinforcing a myth that being in the office is more productive.
