When making games are hard and make huge profit why are the salaries low?

I doubt the argument that there are vast number of game developers who are passionate and are willing to take low salary. The reason is if that is the case why don't they make their own games?

My hypothesis is to make game only few people in the team need high skill and the majority need low skill hence the compensation is low as the entry is easy and supply is high.
