Context for salary agreements for employees of established companies is fundamentally different and not applicable to a discussion of salaries for founders of a new company.
The salary calculation mechanism and amounts cited in the post may be debatable but framing it as "special treatment for founders on top of all they already have" is strange because early startups are often characterized by what founders don't have: the security of market salary and benefits (e.g. healthcare), substantial savings (many plow it into the company), etc.
There is no argument about "lack of responsibility because children cannot be cancelled" - I simply outline it being a common circumstance and recognizing it being a factor in higher living expenses that should be accounted for in salary calculations. It's also not about massive debate on common laws, wealth distribution or society input as you cite. It is simply about agreement between a couple of partners on the road to building a company. As already explained, the issue is negotiable in different ways and most importantly, you can self-select out if it's just unacceptable to you and you're satisfied limiting your pool of partners in this way.
