That's certainly one theory on how to price labor, but it's not the only one (and not even the only one in our capitalist economy.) Worker coops, for instance, have a totally different theory of labor value.

So no, it's not hyperbole to suggest the poster is undervaluing their peers.

Not just "undervaluing their peers" but comparing them to peasants murdered and put on pikes?

Honestly the tone of the post and the satirical post matched each other so precisely I think it serves as a useful counterpoint to what was posted. The continuity in tone with a completely different context sheds a new light on how problematic the content of the original post was. This is essentially what satire is for.
