If anybody living in Tulsa can do this, the arbitrage opportunity will at some point end and Tusla will get more expensive and SF less expensive.

Except that for whatever reason people don't do this so the advantage continues to exist. Possibly because there aren't enough remote jobs?

Also people may not want to live in Tulsa, even if they are better paid.

Not true. Not everyone is cut out for remote work. It needs a certain set of skills and a frame of mind which are not available to everyone or take time to develop.
