>Large tech companies are paying ridiculous salaries and generally speaking we’re in a period of early-stage capital glut.

The salaries are not ridiculous at all. It's the rate the market has decided those workers are worth. If a start up wants to compete they have to change something big because as it currently is I don't see it as rational at all. All the benefits you mention only happen if it works out for you. For nearly all people who try, it's not going to.
