I understand both sides of the equation. I absolutely want to keep the level of autonomy a founder has with a start-up, which you will not have with a union, but at certain point, start up stops being an upstart ( Google, Meta come to mind ) so different rules may apply.

But you are right, average compensation tends to up as a result and even out across the ranks ( and some people don't like that too ).
