Is this salary or total comp? It's not specified which.

Total Comp figures are important, and differences in effective take home pay will be hidden if you only list salaries.

The page says "base salary only". I agree with you though. IMX it seems like there's way more variance in equity than there is in base salaries.

It is specified which, it is just salary. read the article? they talk about that specifically

and yes, it is underwhelming that we still don't know "how much software engineers actually make"

This isn't an article. It's a graph. I didn't see the "About the Data" section when I looked at it the first time time. I was looking in the wrong places, as it is below the generic position advertising part and assumed any further info on the page was unrelated to the graph.

Thanks for letting me know the data is present. :)
