How do you prove the company wouldn't have brought the same or more revenue without you?

  You can’t, but no one can do that really unless you are the inventor of a product that didn’t exist and had no prior competing already products in the market. The point of all of this is the following: If I am a key component of a team company product that generates $100 a year in revenue my value is dramatically different to the organization than the person who is a minor player in a team product that brings $1B in revenue. My value is very high within my own product, but my product’s value is not very high to the organization. Understanding my impact on company revenue can tell me “am I safe in this role?” Or “I need to find another role because my little project is ripe for plucking”.
