Your number seems to be coming from a very small sample size (single digit N?), and GP's link is only about "key" employees like CxOs, VPs and top-ranking engineers.

I wonder what a median rank-and-file employee at these companies make.

I see your point. The fact that the small sample is for 3-4 YOE 'only', may indicate they do pay very well.
