"Basically all this 10x is just a way to make people produce 10x while paying still for 1x. "
Actually, I see it more frequently referenced as reason to pay people more than 1x based on productivity. There are some that deny 10x productivity exists, which is the controversy around it that I am most familiar with. If you are an order of magnitude more productive than your peers, but paid only marginally more, this becomes an incentive to start your own business, or join one where you significant equity, where you will be able to capture more of the value.
