The kid was an idiot and a dickhead. He extorted companies and sim swapped people for his private gain, and was stupid enough to continue his hacking spree while he was on bail for another hack.

Yeah I don't think anyone here disagrees with that; his actions are objectively wrong and as I said, he definitely needs to learn morals and ethics.

Samsung Dex over Miracast (which the news liked to present as some kind of amazing hacking feat)

I mean, duh, the media can't tell the difference between a computer and a toaster, but that's besides the point

He’s violent, damaging property and injuring staff.

I didn't know about this, thanks for sharing. Can I get a source?

I don’t get what this “he deserves a stellar salary” mentality comes from

I'm a firm believer in meritocracy and the importance of rewarding skills. He should still pay a hefty price for his crimes, including jail time, where he will hopefully learn to change his ways, but once he gets out, if he's truly remorseful for his actions and he's willing to have others monitor his device usage activities, I don't see why he shouldn't be hired by a red team

The thing is, people who are highly skilled at computers and pentesting aren't that rare. Working in the industry also requires trustworthiness, reliability, communication skills, the ability to work well with others, and many other things - those are all key "merits", too.

It doesn't matter how good he is at typing rapidly and then saying "I'm in!" if he's too unreliable and untrustworthy to actually get work done, or if his communication skills suck to the point where he can't / won't convey the problems he finds and how to fix them.
