They know that and that is why the only way the league could ever survive would be for it to be a compliment to the NFL, not a competitor to the NFL.

XFL players make a salary of $55,000 per season. That's less than the average strength coach makes in the NFL. They are not now, nor ever will be a competitor with the NFL.

To be honest, the CFL is the only league that can come close to being able to compete and even they know their place. I'm afraid you need to give up your pipe dream at least in any of our lifetimes.

The salaries are low because they have no revenue stream. As the revenue streams go up, the salaries will as well. Eventually they will try to steal players from the NFL. If the XFL continues its success, if you think there won't be a point where the XFL tries to out compete the NFL on offers to particular players, you are wrong.
