Dunno about you but I work for a "business" (large company, you've heard of it) and the concept of "High Performer" is synonymous with "best politician". Sure, a lot of theater goes into things, especially dances around "data points", but at the end of the day the top tier goes to the fortunate sons.
I’m not sure that there is a consistent definition for matters in this context. What matters is completely subjective to an individual. Furthermore, performance is rarely correlated with success and compensation in an enterprise. I could just as easily say that playing the game is what matters.
You should not treat it as fact that "performance" of an individual, not a team is a thing that actually exists in any way that matters and is measurable.
Most of us work for business and on teams where performance matters.

I do treat it as a fact. Why shouldn’t I? Varying performance among my coworkers is obvious and blatant.
