In a sense they are, but comparable to executive salaries at companies with roughly comparable tech/services, those salaries are probably very low.
Probably any tech company of note is paying "executives" far, far more than that, at least in the US.
I don't think it's valid to think extravagant pay rates are not extravagant simply because other executives are also paid extravagant rates.
They are all a bit over-the-top.
Extravagant is a subjective term and for pay it's relative to the location, position, experience, etc.
