Once you cross the hump to not seeking physical proximity when seeking to minimize labor costs, there's very little reason to go to the rest of the US once you leave the SFBA.

The country it's good for isn't the US.

Have you ever looked at the map of US HP campuses in their heyday? Dispersed across the country, with regionally clumped physical proximity, a foot in numerous labor markets and all tidily within a couple timezones.

You might think of HP as a California company but they had large engineering hubs all over the country.
