> Why does a web developer making to-do apps lead a better a life than someone researching cancer cures?

At the most basic level, because the web developer actually produces things. The person who develops anything that could be described as a "cancer cure" if you squinted at it the right way would lead a much more comfortable life. If you pay people based on what they promise to do, you'll quickly discover that promising to do something is easy.
