Lots of jobs work precisely like that.

If you want to argue whether the people who do them should get US$100k/yr, that's a different question.

It’s literally the question being asked, not a different question.

I don't consider that clear at all.

Lots of development jobs involve doing work that isn't flashy, showy or even cool. Does the lack of flashy, showy cool stuff mean it's of less value? Almost certainly not. There are other reasons why a specific developer may not be "pulling their weight", but a bunch of code excerpts is about the least likely way to discover them.
