Why doesn't anyone see all the work I do to keep deals moving?

You hold the whole deal together. Legal, product, finance, sales — you make them move as one, and nothing breaks. That is real work. But look at what it costs you: when the work succeeds, it looks like nothing happened at all. This is not a mystery. You chose to be the one who smooths things over. That choice made you useful, and it made you invisible in the same stroke. No one thanks the floor for holding up the house. They only notice it when it cracks. You cannot fix this by working harder or aligning better. You already do that well — too well. The problem is not the work. It is that you have let the work speak for you instead of speaking for yourself.
