Under literally more than a century of law, domestic and international, the company is deriving value from the employee's work based on where the employee is physically sited.

So basically, you're just arguing against more than a century of essentially universal law.

Free mobility of labor is being hindered by these outdated laws. Either the state should harmonize taxation and figure this out between themselves or companies who do WFH to people living in other states should be considered as hiring independent contractors always.

That the federal government can’t or won’t step in and help people in the USA out of this morass is shameful. That’s my value judgment.

Yes, basically, and doubly so for the income tax.
