A far more likely outcome is that this would converge on being paid something like Prague/Barcelona wages anywhere in the world. (Think 50-75% of Kansas City, Des Moines, Pittsburgh wages today.)
There is, obviously, incredible incentive to defect. If you're going to demand 100% of SF wages, I can improve my lot by demanding 99%. Then the next SWE can undercut me at only 98%, and so on.
