I'd argue that us rank-and-file employees should receive profit sharing if our company is overperforming.

It's impossible for any one of us to compete for that CEO position on any realistic grounds. So, we're left at the mercy that the board has decided this person deserves this compensation.

A CEO can help guide an organization, but it's everyone under that CEO who pulls all the strings.

Plenty of Google "rank-and-file" employees have been made millionaires by profit sharing.
