Remember that time you called up your landlord and said "You know I've lived here six months and it's even better than I could have hoped, so I'm going to ask you to raise my rent because that is just and appropriate." Oh, you never did that ever? Cool. Salaries are like that.https://twitter.com/sehurlburt/status/1017631027395612672 …

This is not a good analogy at all. During the term of your lease, if you are not a terrible tenant, there's no way for the landlord to kick you out therefore no reason ever for tenant to propose a rent increase during the lease term. However, employees can leave the job.
Good bosses give their employees raises associated with key performance metrics because good employees eventually ask or look elsewhere. I have personally given raises or bonuses without it being asked of me, so even anecdotally what you wrote is not right.
