Spotify and Apple are big, publicly traded companies. People working on their new features are seniors compensated well above 140k. In a small SaaS startup if you can design products and code your contribution can be measured in terms of money. The thing is this clashes with culture of most startups. In their eyes, commission based compensation is for sales people, not for engineers.
