You are greatly over-estimating kernel developer's pay. Unless you're an open-source rock-star (ie. Linus & a few other), kernel development does not pay bazillions. A local shop was looking for Android kernel dev for CAN$75k (USD$60k). Any entry level mobile dev can easily make that much in USD. Even an Amazon SDIII isn't paying that much (~CAD$110k in the Vancouver area). I've been talking with other larger hardware manufacturer and their offers are roughly of the same order (in high living cost area).
