I believe you’re missing a major point that most of the benefits of the work are going to the companies. Not the workers. No one is choosing to participate in this system freely since we all need money. We should blame capitalism for not incentivizing workers more. Not congratulate some people for being okay with not working hard for a for profit corporation.

The key assumption is that workers produce much of the company's profit. That is increasingly an incorrect assumption. There are now companies with zero employees, and I expect to see many more in the future. If a founder writes a highly profitable SaaS app, then hires an assistant, to help with minor tasks, and a janitor to keep the small office clean, why should their pay be proportional to the success of the SaaS app?
