In software circles much of the salary comes from profits from the capital assets the employees create. This is why more mature software companies are able to pay much more than new software companies. If you compare to an industry like fast food where the goods created by labour are not capital in nature you'll see mature operations and new operations paying roughly the same. It doesn't matter whether you work at Bob's Burgers or Mc Donald's you're making min wage.
