It seems the right solution would be bonus-based compensation. If they redefine an industry, massive bonus, if they’re just a really good engineer, then get normal really good engineer salary.

Or a demotion. Is that ever an option in companies, or do they have to go straight to firing?

Google at least never demotes for performance reasons.
