I think it's more of difference in terms of we are working in solving complex problems as the years goes by. With increasing specialisation for specific parts of the problem.

Besides that, the amount of software engineers entering the market is increasing due to the rise of coding schools.

But is outstripped by the demand the industry needs from the cutting edge technology to safety-critical systems or just plain maintenance and upgrading work of legacy system to new technologies.

Probably when there are specific events like Dot.com bust or oversupply of a certain job our salaries might drop significantly along with our age.
