It's easy to find counter-examples of both non-technologists who who work hard and are rich and people, and technologists who work hard and are poor, but that doesn't disprove that there are, as OP observed, a huge segment people in society who do work much harder and are paid much less than your typical technologist.
Years ago I did an internship in an emergency room to gain a certain medical qualification, and there I saw first hand people who worked much, much harder than I for much less pay. And they are saving lives while I write useless enterprise bloatware. Feeling that there might be something wrong with this dynamic is not a sign of a superiority complex, it's a sign of empathy and humility.
