That mindset is definitely not exclusive to Europe, almost every country on the planet thinks managers and MBA's should be paid more than individual contributors. It's only a very recent trend in the US that it started to change.

... and only in parts of the US.

Historically compensation tends to be tied to age/seniority and hierarchical status, not contribution per se.
