> During negotiations, do you think it would be fair if the employer asks if you ever intend to move?
Yes. Clearly you are ignoring the reality of different labor laws in different places, and making sure the company is prepared to meet the needs of the law.
For example, when I worked at a small 5 person startup based in NYC, we hired a remote dev in St. Louis. Our cool tech-startup HR software _was not able to pay him_ because they were not prepared to operate in St. Louis. It took like about a month and a half to get that sorted.
Your logic is nice, but it fails to account for the realities of the world. Buisnesses will reduce risk in any way possible, and the situation you are describing is literally unlimited downside risk for the business. Those are nice signals to employees but create new overhead and problems for the business.
