Developers in low cost of living regions demand less money, so they're paid less. Sounds like Google is doing exactly what they said.

I'm not sure that's currently the case, what with the move to long term remote work. Do you have data showing workers demanding less pay after moving to cheaper areas while retaining the same position in the same organization?

It is hard to say how remote work impacts this.

Most companies are still requiring onsite. Even apple (one of the most innovative companies) still wants employees onsite.

FAANGs paying them less is all the data you need. If they thought they could get more they'd leave.
