I don't doubt it. I can think of several small tweaks at companies I've worked at that have swung things $10m one way or another, and we're a tiny fraction of the size of Google.

When you have millions (or billions) of customers, small changes mean a lot.

I'd like to think that the fact that companies just want to keep the money, and the supply of other engineers, is why the comp is not a linear function.
