I'd be surprised if PMs didn't get promoted on "product launched", "new market entered", and such thing as well. If engineers get promoted on new service launched, new major feature launch, massive rewrite, etc. I'd bet PMs would similarly be promoted on the same, so big feature launch, big new product launch, big new market expansion, etc. That makes it they're all spending their time pitching these ideas left and right to the execs until one bites.
