Software engineers don't get hired to Google with 60-100k salaries, not even close.

They do: I was. Admittedly, at the top end of that range, and so one might argue that inflation has hopefully made that statement not true now (I would hope Google's hiring salaries have kept up), but the person you're responding to is also discussing H-1B, and I would expect the salaries there are not as attractive as normal hires.

Salaries for h1b cannot be lower than salaries for others by law. And nobody gets a total comp under 100k anymore.

Yes that is the law. And companies break that law all of the time.
