Why would you think that just because nobody negotiated, somehow everyone doing the same job will be making the same amount? In reality, they will all be making the lowest amount the hiring manager was comfortable offering at the time.

You are confusing lack of negotiation with transparent compensation, which is extremely rare in the US (outside the government).

well, at least from personal experience, I'm talking about the kind of company that explicitly says "we want to make you an offer as a software engineer, at such and such level, and this is the fixed salary for that job+level". they could have been lying of course, but once you start going down that rabbit hole you might as well not take the offer.

wrs OP
Based on my 35 years of hiring and being hired in the tech industry, that kind of company is also extremely rare.

for sure, which is why I appreciate them all the more when I encounter them! I wish more of the industry operated that way.
