The difference between $300k/head revenue companies and $2M/head revenue companies is far larger than amount of toil and efficiency measures/overhead. Most notably, there tends to be a fundamental difference in who they hire, how they hire them and how they compensate them. It might even make sense for $100k/year engineers to do more toil than $400k/year engineers.

That's interesting, I'd say that's one of the least likely fundamental differences, especially with these large 10k+ employee companies. Those differences in hiring should average out when compared to things like timing entering their markets, monopolistic advantages, regulatory capture that are external to the company.
