It's only unfair if someone else is willing to pay you more in order to generate that 2 million OR if no one else is willing to generate that 2 million for 120k. In that case, switch jobs. I find that programmers often overestimate their value.

To take a slightly different angle on it: if someone is taking an unfair percentage of the value you create, consider breaking out on your own and keeping 100% of the value you create.
Immediately, you start to think about costs, hurdles, and PITA to doing that. Those costs and hurdles represent the value that someone else is adding to allow you to "just code".
