I mean even if we are talking about L4s and L5s at a place like Google, these careers still pay an absolute ton of money. If I am in my 40s and I am still making ~300-400k a year, then I would consider that a good deal. Being permanently "stuck" making the insanely high salaries of engineers at top tech companies is still a really good gig.
