I don't think about them, I only think about software professionals because they're everywhere.

oh you are in palo alto.. aah okay.

computer science is perhaps one of the few areas of research where research work is happening in production environment. Most these high earning s/w guys are at once both scientists and engineers. especially with AI now.

we don't work 9 to 5 like other professions. we have to be available anytime round the clock.

have to deal with meetings, two week deadlines, performance reviews, production issues...

I really want to know, I feel like these people live in a bubble. Not just that, they kind of create a black hole and swallow people from other disciplines as well. Why?

Exactly, do you think people in other professions would only work 9-5? My previous boss used to fire people if we don't work 80 hour weeks.

Bubble is formed because of surface tension. Balloon is formed because of elasticity.
