A lot of people simply don't want to be HTPL maintenance, for example. It pays very well, but it's hard. That's not acceptable to a lot of folks right now.

My sister-in-law's fiancé is doing it as a journeyman, and he's making very close to what I do as a mid-level SWE.

This is not a very useful statement without a ballpark figure. Mid level SWE salaries range from <100k to >300k depending on the company.
