The Netherlands is quite a socialist country so taxes/fees are higher even though the developers see far less money in the hand. 2.

This is true, but it's unlikely the taxes are enoguh to offset the lower salaries overall. Unless taxes were over 50%.
I know they're ungodly rates in Norway, Sweden, and Finland (in one coutnry...Sweden, I believe? they approach 86%), for example, but I'm not sure about the Netherlands.
Rent/ownership fees would probably pay a significant factor however. It's more likely they rent.
