I think it's a simple as that money that is paid in dividens, that profit, would be better spent on investment, whether that be R&D or lower prices. I fail to see how these companies have earned the profit. Just by taking risk? What risk? Their profit is guaranteed. The only risk they're taking relates to their competence, and even that isn't a deal breaker.
