The reason it is an oversimplified example, is because equity is a concept that can only ever exist in the thought experiments of academia. It is misguided, there is no way to ever possibly institute a successful system of equity because it largely depends upon a marxist system of identity politics (i.e. I need this because I'm different in "x" way from that person over there).
Where will the line ever be drawn?
Equity is the exact same thing as equality of outcome. It is a system of paying two paramedics the exact same rate, even though one of them runs 1500 calls a month in a metropolitan area, full of constant crime and vehicular related injuries, meanwhile the other paramedic is stationed in a very rural area that only has four calls a month -three of which are the same repeat customer going to the hospital because they're bored and lonely.
One paramedic is working their ass off to the point of constant burn out and coming home stressed out all the time, yet is making exactly the same as the paramedic who sits on his phone playing facebook games all the time. THAT is "true equity" as you put it.
Because they're artificially inflating the pay of the rural paramedic to have the same outcome, regardless of work put in.
That's not even a fair example, because a lot of paramedic jobs are regional and actually DO get the same pay regardless of calls -one station might be swamped and get paid the same as another station that gets nothing. And there is resentment between those stations. It creates friction that ends up causing decay within EMS departments that usually only gets remedied by pay incentives.
Equality of opportunity, on the other hand, should be paraded as the only system that has ever worked -so long as it doesn't get perverted into this equal outcome bullshit.
You give people an equal shot at life/opportunities, and if one person is better at that for whatever reason, then so be it. If they focus on their skills, their knowledge, their work ethic... then they will succeed and outpace the other people.
A system of equity, on the other hand, looks to allow lazy and incompetent people to not be left behind. It seeks to include them in just as many opportunities and benefits as the people who work their asses off. Because to not include them, would not be a fair outcome. But life isn't fair, trying to make everything have an equal outcome is a fools errand.
So if Tom and Jerry both have a job nailing boards to a fence, in which they are promoted and paid based on how many boards they can nail to a fence in a given day -and the quality of the job they do.... Tom could make a ton more money than Jerry and could be promoted in no time, if he just busted ass and ensured he was doing a fine job the entire time. Making sure that all of his boards were level, none of his nails were bent, and everything was nice and straight -while getting competent enough to increase his work output enough to overcome Jerry.
Jerry on the other hand is lazy and squanders his work, with sloppy boards that aren't level. Nails in random places, boards that aren't lined up properly... and he only gets about 1/5 the work done as Tom.
In a system of equal opportunity -they both had a fair chance, but Tom blew Jerry out of the water. He makes more money and goes on to get promoted. Jerry gets fired or left at the bottom of the totem pole making the bare minimum, because he's worthless and has not developed his skills. Tough shit snowflake, that's life.
In a system of equity, or equality of outcome, Jerry bitches to the powers that be that it's unfair for Tom to get pay raises or promotions, because of some bullshit excuse. Jerry then gets promoted and gets raises just the same as Tom, even though his work is a collective pile of shit by comparison.
Oh, and since everyone is having to get promotions and raises, including the incompetent, lazy fucktards... you essentially put a cap on how much the truly gifted and motivated people can earn, because their profits are having to be spread out among everyone else (also known as redistribution of wealth).
It's a shit system that's force fed to impressionable people through academia, that will bring upon us all nothing but further misery and mediocrity.
Those of us who truly perform and contribute the greatest (the true leaders and innovators, as you mention), are already doing just fine without a system of equity. This bullshit is being sold to everyone by those who are not leaders or innovators in order to tear the rest of us down, because they're jealous and salty that they haven't amounted to anything in life and they want to forcibly grab hold of their "success" without earning it.
