Compensation is almost never based on what value employees provide to the business but what the market will pay for them. If PhDs get paid more it’s likely because the market is willing to pay more for people with those skills.
Fwiw: I don’t have a PhD. But I do find the lazy PhD bit pretty tiring too.
