Yes, but that to subset is what, like, a couple hundred thousand of the best paid engineers? Halving their salary in a survey is going to make its results almost meaningless.

Out of, what, 1.5M or so in the US?

Also, I am skeptical that it is actually that many whom are employed by that subset. I have not seen any of them break down their headcount by role, but the majority of their employees would need to be software engineers and I don't see how that can be the case.
