it's a great way to filter out your top performers

Huh, it is rather insulting to people who are more willing to move and also stating top performers always stay stuck to same place.

But besides all that there is ton of work large companies do which simply does not need top performers so lower cost and lower perf employee will just do fine.

Another thing is among larger tech companies Oracle is among more remote friendly for decades. So if both party agree someone can work remotely just fine.

Not really. I'm not stating a hard and fast rule, but a tendency. People with more options are far more likely to take action to avoid a major disruption to their lives, and people with fewer options are more likely put up with shit.

I know if my employer decided to pack up and move to a new city, I'd almost certainly prefer to take another job locally than uproot nearly everything to move with them for little to no benefit to me.
