If you do not contribute more to the business than the job you originally took, why should you be promoted? I can imagine you getting a raise as you demonstrate more proficiency in the job, but promotion seems to imply that you do a different job for the business.

Yes, promotion means more value added, but that can be defined many ways. In tech companies it usually includes having more management and/or other non-technical skills (for technical workers). The value could be more aligned with just having more technical skills. It could even be formally assessed by reviewing code and even test, yet from my experience more technical skills had little impact on promotion chances.
