Some part has to be earned (pure lottery wins/inheritances don't seed identity) but luck above effort feels like proof of chosen-one status

If you only get exactly what you worked for, you'll be unhappy. It's perception of unfair luck in your favor that seeds good mental health.

i think very very people are lucky enough to get what they've worked for. Most are sold short, given what they can negotiate.

I think that's irrelevant. Reference is what you think you deserved, not what you think you could have negotiated.
