> Copyright is a system meant to ensure creators get compensated proportionally to the value they add to society

Compensation to the creators was merely a means to an end. Furthering progress was the goal:

> Article I, Section 8, Clause 8: Patent and Copyright Clause of the Constitution. [The Congress shall have power] “To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.”

Depends on how you define "progress".
