If you are a developer who just implements what the PMs tell you to (more or less) then I agree that you shouldn't get extra credit when the project is a massive success. If the product earns a billion or loses millions you didn't have anything to do with that - you just implemented the designs of other people.
If you significantly contribute to the design of a successful project - that's different. But then, you should be making the case that you solved the hard problem of improving the design, not just that you were a good developer on a successful project.
