Total compensation-wise they are not the best, one of which is even mediocre. Compensation per hour-wise three of them are terrible. Stock appreciation-wise one of them didn't even beat tech industry average (NASDAQ-100) in the past 4 years. One of them won't let you in if you have leetcode skills only. Four of them don't have a high hiring bar, one of which has a very low hiring bar.

The only explanation is that we are talking about the 5 largest companies in terms of market-cap -- someone must have mistyped M with an N.

What's the best explanation?

(PS: No I'm not referring to Amazon with any malicious purpose. Amazon is a great company with a lot of high-quality bananas. We code monkeys crave for them.)
