My main point is that Google doesn't define market comp, they define top-of-market comp. If you are a software engineer expecting to make Google money then you need to make peace with the fact that there are very very few places where you can earn that. It doesn't mean that all other companies are somehow low-balling or cheating their devs just because they don't have Google's money hose of a business.

I think the issue is everyone is saying they want the best - when it’s clear they either don’t or can’t afford it.

The best engineers are not always the highest paid engineers, and the best performers do not have equal performance in all contexts.
