Of course the company deserves to capture the value, they are already paying you and expect some return on investment (from paying you). Your contribution would’ve been zero without the company and your teammates who are also only there because the company built the team.

Yeah, but when they go ahead and capture 100% of the value by never giving bonuses or raises they're incentivizing mediocrity, both in the form of brain-drain due to the most innovative employees seeking greener pastures once their resumes are updated and in the form of employees who may have otherwise had the potential to go above and beyond never feeling any external motivation to do so.

Such companies wind up doing poorly.
