This is more a reflection of the growing class-based conflict in the United States and less a reflection of how income is distributed. The reality is that many people - especially tech workers - have insanely large impact compared to someone working a simple, local job. Pay will reflect this.

I assume class reflects income (or wealth). More specifically, income per hour normalized to quality of life at work.

This is not how the market works. If the market is completely saturated with skilled tech workers, their compensation will be low regardless of having a large impact. It's nothing more than a supply and demand issue, right now it happens to be that demand is high and supply is low.
