I can imagine a simple explanation where one mode of gratification aims to pay as low as possible to keep the workforce willing to work at all, and another mode is to use pay amount to avoid talent from going away. Pay is thought about and used differently in both modes, and it's a simple enough management pattern that it could translate to every field.
This is an over simplistic hypothesis and it would need more info to confirm but it seems potentially reasonable to me.

I also think it reflects personalities on the employee side: you have to be able to risk rejection and possibly worse to ask for a significant raise which means you either need to be very risk tolerant or in a situation where you can afford to fail.
