I have noticed that Cybersecurity Personnels are not paid nowhere at par to Developers or Data Science/ AI/ ML professionals when we hear everyday Cybersecurity as a space still needs millions of people to fill the gap and so on.

I know it's might be even like comparing apples and oranges but in that case too, would appreciate response from anyone especially people who have worked in this space for longer periods.

In 99% product companies developers are paid more than security guys because development is a revenue generating service, while security is only an enablement service.

Everyone likes to stress on the importance of cybersecurity and how they want to focus on it and how they are adopting a security first approach. But when it comes to actually doing it they falter because it's a cost. preference is given to functions which directly contribute to higher revenues and profits. If you wanna see good salaries in cybersecurity then look at how much they are paying people where security itself is the product.

Cyber is a cost center, where as software in product company is revenue function. But you can still see people getting well paid in cloud security or product security where security is in focus. Yeah still it's less than AI/ML.

This is not true, maybe you are not getting high because of your lack of experience or skill. I know many people in cyber security they get paid more than developers. If cyber security is not priority for a organization they might paid less this is same for all tech.
