This might indeed be true in your slice of the market, but in top firms in USA I think new grad compensation has never been higher. Top students with good summer internship experience can easily bag 150k in their first year, even more for those who manage to time competing offers.

The situation of top students in top firms isn't necessarily representative of the market. You'd want to look at the compensation of the median student, or if you're including the top students, then look at the weak students, say, 20th percentile as well.
Absolutely. That selection of developers barely makes up a fraction of a percentage of the working developers out there across the world.
In the UK, salaries seem to have gone down across the board from what they were a decade ago - even for top jobs.
