Aha what ? Where I live (Bordeaux, France) a quick glance through the job offers for full-time sysadmin are between 25 and 35k€ / year

You confuse cost with salary.

Someone who makes 35k a year costs much more. Think about office space, training, insurance, payroll costs etc.

35k is the gross which encompasses a big part of that except office space.

No it's not. In France companies pay ~1.5-2x gross salary in total, gross going to the employee ( some of it getting deducted by the state), rest going for health insurance, taxes, etc.

If you check the actual numbers here - https://entreprise.pole-emploi.fr/cout-salarie/ you'll see that for e.g. 30k€ gross yearly, a company shells out 41k, which is definitely not 1.5-2x total and still very far from the 75k mentioned above

sysadmin isn't infrastructure engineer nor SRE. The salaries for latter are way above 74k/year

France seems to pay IT quite bad. In Germany nobody would work for this in metro area.
