This is just job count. One might try to make a qualitative analysis. For example one may have pointed out that the top paying jobs are in centers like San francisco / bay area. If an employer is willing to pay more, it must be because there is more value being provided. If more value is being provided then maybe the talent group is higher. If one wants to work with the top in their industry they likely will go where the top talent is. (All on average...)
This is the typical rhetoric for why endure San Francisco.

No. SV companies pay eng. staff more because FAANG companies pay more - there's hiring competition for eng. staff in SV. You can easily prove this: tally up the value you provide as an engineer, then ask for a raise. Unless you have some kind of personal relationship with the owners, you just nuked your career at that company. Why? Because if mgmt. caves for you, then they might get inundated with requests from other staff. Your value isn't even considered, unless it's inconsiderable, in which case you will get an out-of-cycle review that you don't really want. Then just join another company and negotiate yourself a raise. So much simpler. Which one was easier?
