That would be true if they success of the company was 100% depending on the companies ability alone, however it's not. There are many factors external to the company itself that are involved in creating successful companies.

That isn't relevant. The company has owners, and owners get to decide what to do with their property. If they decide most of the success was due to external factors then they can change their compensation appropriately. Evidently they do not agree with you on average.

It's relevant in a bigger context which is the one I am raising. Feel free to isolate it to a more narrow one if you would rather debate that. Personally I find that trivial but each to their own of course.

Property rights if you really want to go there is not a natural right but something that is guaranteed by the state.
