They are extremely low (at least by the standard of Software Engineers based in the US)

Lichess is a non profit from France (like it’s author) and those salaries quite normal for France.

No it is not. Yes it could be for your average everyday developer but if someone can run site with millions of active users alone, there is no difference in salary based on where the developer stays. Does Mistral pays $100k salary to researchers?
