> wages should be set Solely and Exclusively to the value we bring to the organization

This isn't true now and has never been true. Otherwise frontline workers would make a lot more and CEOs would make a lot less. Wages already have skewed dynamics based on a bunch of arbitrary reasons. Saying that people with kids should get a bit more salary I don't think is that much more controversial than saying a permanent employee should get paid more than a someone from a temp agency that does the exact same work (and hence the same value to the organization).

Neither one of those statements follow each other. You may belive, and in some cases you may be correct that a CEO is of less value than frontline workers, but the prevailing narrative I see across the internet that workers bring "all the value" is also false

They are not really that arbitrary, pricing for wages are set largely by 3 factors

1. Market Demand for a given role 2. Number of people available to fill a given role 3. Amount of revenue a company can generate from a given role

Wage pricing is a balance of all 3 factors,
