No, I'm saying that people see an older candidate and assume that they won't be as willing to work for less as someone younger, it's biases and it has a lot to do with age; employers select different demographics for different roles, because there are innate assumptions about what kind of hire someone will be based on their age. Older hires are more often brought in for specific skills and high-value type contributions, and younger candidates are generally assumed to be looking for that same experience and expecting to start lower on the chain.
