Your salary is adjusted for cost of living where you are located, amongst many other things. You may not like it, but that's how it is. This whole talk about your home office being your space and so should be included in cost, OK cool. You are in West Virginia, a 2 br apt is ~$1000/mo, so how much is that home office you are making a fuss about? Say 500, that's $6000 a year. That is 2 month's rent in NY.
Other factors for higher pay in NY are immediate availability for in-person meetings with clients et al. Say what you want, but Zoom meetings will never be equal to in-person meetings for certain professions. Real closers will tell you that.
The same reason you feel you deserve more than a guy in India to do your job is the same reason a guy in NYC will tell you they deserve more to do their job.
