As a software developer in EU, sometimes I find it absurd that I'm only paid 2x as much as the average office drone for which the company would see no difference if their department disappeared tomorrow.

The only way to be paid according to your real value is to freelance or start your company.

And there are major differences even in the EU. The wage gap for a developer in the V4 compared to e.g. Germany (UK/Switzerland in a broader context) is staggering.
