As of right now, USCF Standard (unofficial) = 2105, FIDE Standard = 2007, chess.com blitz = roughly 2000.

From what I can tell it might be something like this:

Chess.com = USCF + 200 = FIDE + 300

That only applies to higher rated players. For a player rated below 1600 Chess.Com, it is VERY unclear where the correlation between rating systems "Is TRUE".

F.ex in OTB games I'm usually paired with players between (1400 - 1500) ELO. Here on Chess.com a low rating doesn't mean anything anymore. It did 10 years ago, when they correlated with USCF-rating very much. But those days are gone for the below 1600's.

The only diff. in all three is the average rating of the participants.

On chess.com the average rating of the players is around 1140. Which means; if 1400+ rated player on chess.com plays against player rated below 1000 repeatedly sumday he may reach upto 2800+ that does'nt mean he's capable of playing 2500+

After you get high enough, you can't gain points by defeating much lower rated people. For example, if Hikaru beats a 2900 he only gets 1 point but if he loses to a 2900, he loses 16 points. Also, I think chess.com/lichess have anti-farming software
