Even if you make something like $20000 per year, you have it better than most in the world. People spend their body (the one we only have one of) doing way more intense (and vital for the world) labor than software engineers do, and earn much less.
If you think unreasonable deadlines are a big issue, then you're in for a rough awakening if you spend any time with the rest of the workforce that doesn't sit in front of a computer all day.
Let me sum up your entire argument.
Most of the world lives in severe poverty, therefor software developers should accept any amount that the owner class feel like paying them and be thankful.
