Fine, but those structures aren't immutable. They are created by companies in response to perceived needs.

Your argument more or less repeats mine: companies aren't willing to pay current employees a market rate. Presumably that's because they believe that in enough cases, the current employee isn't willing to leave and is willing to continue working for below-market rate.
