Look at Facebook's stock (FB symbol) the past year. Between February 2nd and 3rd of this year it fell from $323 to $237.76.

I think it _is_ a counterargument because a comparison between average software engineer pay and average frontline worker pay probably looks like you'd expect as far as market forces are concerned.
It's only when you move on from averages and start to focus on outliers where it looks like "problem." I would definitely consider FAANG engineers who make $300,000+ per year outliers.
