These are all solid points. The issue is that in many cases the PhDs work along side people with masters or bachelors. In some tech fields, they even work along side those who didn't bother graduating from college.
That's not a bad thing. I think the businesses are doing as good a job as they can spotting and promoting talent. It's just a good argument against getting a PhD if you're just going to end up in industry. And by some measures anywhere between 80-95% will end up in industry or government.
