Historically speaking if you actually invented something, you got nothing but a wage or a very small payout.
That’s true for most innovations ever and not exclusive to the US tech industry.

The point is that the tech industry markets itself as this big leader in innovation, but it’s not. It markets and packages existing innovations. Capitalism in general is sold to us as “driving innovation”, but it’s a lie. The fact this is normal in general strengthens my point.
