The 2x salary average is very misleading. The average for all employees everywhere in the US sure, but it's a sliding scale.
The higher your salary the less your employer is paying as a percentage of your income. There's very little difference in overhead between someone making $100k and someone making $150k. The overhead difference will only be a few thousand dollars more for the person making $150k.

Logically, you would think so, but remember that many benefits scale with salary/seniority. Things like retirement plan matching and vacation accrual rate. Also perks like better offices, parking, "training" in attractive destinations.
