The argument I did make is the non-competes were never there to "retain talent. Imo this disproportionately helps executives make more money and that’s why it’s being passed.

Then why were they there?
To prevent people from being paid by multiple companies at the same time, which is a thing only execs do…
A non-compete is, in essence, a clause that dictates whether a worker can find employment (or create a product) that directly competes with their employer—even if they aren’t working for them anymore. Typically, these will last around six months to a year after the end of employment, but they can last longer.
Six months to a year after employment is hardly “at the same time.”
