Improving the main product or exiting products is seen as "maintenance". Industry doesn't give bonus/RSUs/promotions for maintenance. It is always gonna be a shiny new project, which gets promotions/bonus/RSUS. After getting bonus/promotions, every one (from the director level down to the bottom) will move laterally to another org. Rinse and repeat, you can see the pattern across FAANG.
