Starting salary, maybe. But at some point in a large company, organizational inertia takes over. Think about the impacts of 25 years of cost-of-living adjustments, merit raises, and promotions on a careerist's income relative to what a new-hire might get in the same field.

I'm not talking about an IT services company. I'm talking about an in-house IT department in a corporation whose main product is something else.

The reason is the 30 yr employee is worth it. You will have to hire 3 noobs to get the same result.

The new hire doesn't have years of experience and understanding of your business and your customer's business.
