The document is comparing salaries of staff engineers, and EM's. In my experience staff engineer positions are even rarer then EM positions.

sure, as long as we're talking about 110 to 170k$ non-managing, technical roles in EU, I'd like to see a full eclipse soon (both exist but I think the latter could be easier to find)

Where do you work?!? If you are in Western Europe then the blogpost is irrelevant for you. The Western European market is weird.
Can you elaborate more about this? Why is it irrelevant in Western Europe?
Western Europe has a very different hiring market for SWEs due to how traditional industries like financial services, media, law, government, pharma, chemicals, and automotive are overrepresented.
In these kinds of organizations, software is viewed as a cost-center and as such the only way you as a SWE can protect yourself is to climb up the management chain as soon as possible.
