It seems like data about salary trends, relative hiring of less experienced or younger quantiles of the candidate population, and company behaviors that could be motivated by wage arbitrage could possibly resolve our disagreement.

Do you agree? If we had data about these things it would shed light on whether employers are motivated to get talent because talent is productive vs. motivated for some other means by which companies are profiting from headcount?

Absolutely I would agree if the data indicated that. My opinion is admittedly based on anecdata, even if the people I've spoken with is somewhat large and limited to engineers in Tech companies.
