This is very fair criticism for standard jobs like a regular software developer.

For a role like this, where outsized skill of someone who is and needs to be elite should be rewarded with enormously outsized pay, I think this a good model.

I think we're in agreement.

But, I do find it wild that a group as decorated as this already can't even get compensation that is commensurate with their skill and experience without having to rely on intangible future benefits.
