Timezones still matter. It is a big pain to work with teams in a timezone 12 hours away.

People in low COL countries can be paid enough to work 3rd shift for much less than the cost differential between a 3rd world slum and a Nowheresville KS house.

Depends on the job. We don't expect our software engineers in India to work nightshift or live in slums.
