Why would you want a dividend? It’s mathematically better for a business to do share buybacks and allow investors to choose when to sell shares so they can minimize tax liability.

That depends a whole lot on your tax jurisdiction, your other income and your investment strategy.

No one is saying they want a dividend, I'm explaining how small the dividends of big tech companies are.
