The author suggest that star athletes are paid for their exceptional athletic ability.

Star athletes are paid for their ability to fill a stadium and or sell advertising/media rights. Part of their value is their celebrity and name/likeness. They are more equivocal to entertainers in this context. Of course, ability matters, because winning teams are celebrated!

Software developers do not bring this value to their organizations.
