Most Fortune 100 companies are competitive now, and the most money is extremely meaningless.

I assure you that the other Fortune 100 companies are not paying even in the same ball park as Facebook, Apple, Amazon, and Google.

What do you think the average compensation of those companies are?

I’m well aware of the comp levels at at least three of those companies because they are based in my former home town - Delta, Home Depot and Coke.

They pay their senior devs about the same amount as an intern I mentored got as a return offer (cash + stock).

I can assure you they are absolutely paying in the same ballpark as Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Google, you just don't know how to limit your searches to the tech roles.
So give some numbers of what the f100 companies make compared to FAANG?

I’m very familiar with at least three of the companies that are based in Atlanta - Delta, Coke and Home Depot.

Seeing that I’ve worked for corp dev for almost 25 years before joining BigTech.

Depends on the role. $500k total comp is common on the tech scale of the companies I'm familiar with. While not the $800k+ you might see at some FAANG in specific roles, it absolutely is enough to no longer consider FAANG if you're bothered even one iota by their hiring process.
Name a company. You keep being obtuse
Fortune... 3. not FAANG but in retail. Can hit $500k total comp easily, if you live on either coast.
