That's all true but besides the point. Paying a developer less because they have bad Internet connection quality, lack availability or because they incur more administrative costs makes sense. Those are all things that can affect their work performance or cost. Paying a developer based on their cost of living or based on what their neighbors are earning is nonsense.

I agree it "looks" like nonsense... but it's not. It's reality.
Different countries, even neighbouring countries, can have completely different salaries while doing the same thing... and things can cost completely differently too...
Just check the border between the USA and Mexico.
