When I interview people for a job I'm not looking to hire an average programmer, though.

You want to hire an above-average programmer, I assume. Do you also pay above-average salaries?
People are not uniform fungible programmers. I want someone who is a specialist and above average at the stuff I'm trying to do. If that specialization commands a higher market rate than average, then yes, that's what they get paid.
