This is true. I think that that's where the $50,- an hour rate comes from.
An experienced dialogue mixer, in most situations commnads more, because in general, it takes much longer to learn how to mix dialogue.

Not to belittle Music and SFX mixers.
I do all 3, but mostly Dialogue. Up here, the Dialogue mixer handles music and Dialogue.
The SFX handles SFX, BG's and Foley. I mosyly do Dialogue, and fill in the SFX chaor when needed.
