I don't mean this to sound snarky but remote developers are paid whatever they can negotiate.

If a company wants remote workers for "off shoring reasons", then pay will be low. If they want remote workers that are perfect for their needs, they'll pay what they think is fair and within their budget.

I was gonna say something similar but you said it best. Moving to a lower cost city is actually a competitive advantage because the scope of the project determines its pricing.
