As a counterpoint, my company pays engineers a bonus only if sales brings in enough revenue…

I’ve always hated “team objectives” as such tend to be far outside an individuals control.

It is only a counterpoint if you claim that this compensation scheme works well. If you don't think it makes sense, then it actually proves my point that bonuses should only involve things that directly depend on employee's own performance.
