I think it's 3 - the role has to be valuable enough to pay for:

MIN(cost of your replacement, what they think you can get elsewhere, your value to the company)

In this case, 3 is proven as long as the company is actively hiring in the higher paid location

Hmm yes. I think this is also evidence that the company values the person being in that location more than the other one, which might translate to higher (3).

they can't calculate 3 so it doesn't come into the conversation

If they can't calculate 3 then how is there budget to hire you?

Companies? They might know the averages, but no company ever knows how valuable which employee is.
