Well yeah, it seems you're reiterating that it's great for employers, not for employees. I don't disagree.

Of course if Haskell somehow takes off and all the FANG companies want to hire as many Haskell engineers as they can, then the situation would probably reverse.

I'm more calling out that it's mutually beneficial; the employees choosing that tradeoff are still choosing that tradeoff. The other tradeoff, work for a higher compensated position in a language that they hate, isn't objectively "better", just different.
