Or you can move somewhere where the cost of living is 80% lower...and still work remote.

Until you have to go back to the office whenever that is... And say goodbye to all of your friends/family.

How many people who work for BigTech have family there and didn’t relocate?

Of the Americans I know - quite a few. Of the foreigners - obviously quite a bit less.

Beyond that - friends can also be more important than family. I know plenty of people who won't move because all their friends are where they currently live - and they're fine with not being close to their family.
