From a benefit perspective:

When apple uses its dominant position to tax everyone 30 percent apple benefits, and the market does not.

When apple uses its dominant position to pay your team 30 percent more and stifle the free market by driving competitors out of business. you benefit, Apple benefits more and the market does not.

Is apple being a giant market dominating force a good thing or a bad thing? Your getting the high salary does not reflect your value, or the market value of your skill. It reflects apples desire to put your former employer out of business.



And importantly, once your old employer is gone, there’s no need to pay you inflated salaries anymore.


There is not a fixed quantity of employers. New employers are founded every day. YC even funds some of them.
