Price's Law suggests that the square root of the number of workers in a particular domain constitute half the productivity. This means if a particular office has 100 coders, 10 of them make up half the total productivity. So the top performers are doing ~5% of the total work each, while the regular performers, on average, are doing 0.5%. So statistically every place with 100 developers has ten 10x coders whether that's Google or anywhere else.

You can't dismiss all of them as 1.5x. Recall the binary patching done by Microsoft a few days ago. That's the work of at least a 5x guy if not 10x.

Also this is pretty silly.
