Why would the big companies of SV conspire to fix wages if they didn't want to decrease the cost of labor?

Yes, tech workers are very underpaid, even if their pay is good relative to the rest of the economy right now.

I'm not sure that's connected - if wage fixing were to blame we wouldn't be seeing salary drops, they wouldn't have risen in the first place.

My question is more that I would be very interested to see data supporting the idea that there has been a large drop in developer salaries.
