Dude if you are working at Google and _not_ getting paid then the industry would be about to collapse... I think you got a couple of things wrong and that's assuming this was about making an easy million off some code. It is not, the problem here is that most engineers (which aren't working at companies like Google) might not be properly compensated for the work they do, while coworkers in other less critical/relevant areas make more for completing tasks that nowhere as complex as writing decent code. But hey don't look at me! look at all the would-be coders that chose other careers because of this.
