Think it's actually a paygrade thing at some companies. Get a talented engineer (that yes, probably had open source projects already as a teen) and they kinda want more pay than an average engineer. Now they're a senior engineer.

Of course whether said engineer is actually worth said salary isn't immediately obvious and oftentimes you end up with young seniors that are better at selling themselves than they are at engineering.
