This to me is the real argument: those who can demand a high salary regardless of geography, and those who can only demand a high salary _because_ of geography.

The mistake is many people in the latter group think they are in the former.

Like many, I think I'm in the former group and will allow myself a little Schadenfreude if the latter group gets an "adjustment." Unless it turns out I'm wrong. :-O
