I've been thinking about this myself. I'm highly productive and always avoid unnecessary complexity. My most common question is: Can we not do it?

However, when I worked for a company I did get bigger promotions but that it was in the 10-20% range. I was literally 2-3 times more productive than people who got paid 30-40% less.

If you take a big picture look, you will see things get more obvious when you give it enough time. In 10 years the difference will be big enough (I think).

If they want and good at working on things I hate (tedious, repetitive work, testing) I don't mind it. . Without them my performance will go down too.

I just take it as the company pay them well than they pay me bad. However if I feel that my pay is below market rate, then it's another matter.
