I think Facebook and Palantir have to increase compensation to get the same level of talent. The person you replied to formulated it in the inverse way. Also yes, in general if you work in a nonprofit for a charitable cause you'll likely make way less money. Google et al are certainly not nonprofits, but they aren't in the "evil" businesses of defense/mass population manipulation either, at least not to the degree that Facebook and Palantir are. They are somewhere in between.
