Because we live in a capitalistic society where supply/demand ultimately controls price, not what's fair.

I.e. On average, engineers get paid what they do because if they demand any more, another peer of equal caliber, on average, will take their job. VC's get paid, on average, what they do because no other VC will do it for less.

So basically a bunch of classist bullshit.

Whether or not that's true, you have little to no power to change it.

Unless you have some genuine superhuman value for justice , you'll be better off spending your energy learning how to work within the system versus being angry/complaining about it.
