It's more than just not hiring remote workers. Some employers are actually surprised that one might not want to relocate to the bay.

People act like you're denigrating their entire way of life if you won't sell your house and move to the bay in return for their uninspiring below-market salary and the chance to "disrupt" something. They get especially upset when I say that the cost of living differential would need to be 50%+ of total comp, plus around $30k in moving expenses.

You can look at the weekly/monthly HN job posts to validate your comment, as quite a number aren't remote friendly.
