Who's going to force these companies to pay employees based on the value they generate? If no one, then market economics takes over. Just in the same way you don't pay for gasoline based on the value it provides you, companies aren't going to pay that way for labor. They'll pay the lowest they can to get the best employee for the job. And with remote work expanding that talent pool far beyond their physical location, they'll have an easier time.
