> they are being paid handsomely for their work.

I think the complaint is that they aren't being paid "adequately", but without actual numbers it's hard to tell. I suspect few of them are making SV developer salaries.

I suspect that the average is much higher than an SV salary. And the standard deviation is much higher too. More like in sports.

Well, sure, but the median is probably quite low.

Again - similar to sports. Is somewhat of a "winner take all" market.
