California is a big state. San Francisco median income is over $100,000, and you are still not going to be able to get your own apartment in that much.

I'd argue that software developers are underpaid, considering large tech companies had been illegally colluding for years to restrict competition and keep wages low.

Most of those are a bedroom in a shared situation, or student accommodation.

I agree, but I'd extend that to saying most people are underpaid. Increasing inequality shows this (unless you believe an unequal society is desirable). Software developers are underpaid less than most, though.
