which means you're competing for principal and architect level jobs, which are much more restricted.

The alternative is P&L and boy grey beards don't want P&L based measurements

There are only two things that are measurable:
1. Time
2. P&L
P&L measurement would destroy majority of the old timers unless the old timers work the same little money fresh out of college people do.
However, it is important to realize that you are not competing with the 20-somethings or the ones that are fresh out of college. You are competing with the ones that have already a good amount of experience (let's say 7-10 years) but are still in the beginning of their careers.
If they are minimally talented, they will probably produce code just as good as yours, yet they will probably (a) work for less money and (b) still be single and (c) more dedicated to work and (d) more tolerant of bullshit asks from the employer. Those are the ones that eventually fill positions as "Sr. Engineer" and crowd out the older ones.
