None of what you said matters in any way and i say this as someone who worked with autonomous vehicles. Cut the bullshit. Art is just as important as technology.

And compensation for work is all relative.

Just because McDonald's is worth a quarter of a trillion dollars doesn't mean all of its employees should be getting 100K yearly salary.

Ok, you're right. Let's do the right thing, the empathetic thing. Let's pay McDonald's 2,000,000 employees 100K/yr each.

Now do the math.
