I don't think any of these reasons explain why European SWE salaries are so low and I don't think they need to be compromised in order to raise wages.

I don’t buy the idea that employing people in Europe is so expensive because of these benefit programs that wages are lowered to compensate.

Some of those costs aren’t even borne by the employer.
