Where I live, tradespeople make much less than software developers for comparable levels of experience, but in my opinion, they are just as skilful and more useful to society. Is it different in your area? Or do you think tradespeople are less skilful/valuable than programmers to society? You could argue that they aren't paid enough, rather than that we're paid too much, but I certainly feel there's an imbalance.
