IMHO, if the CEO's decisions are destructive of public goods, shareholders aren't the ones we should go to. We should be able to stop the CEO via government powers.

Shareholder activism has a very double edged record. Their interests aren't necessarily the public's interest or the company's. Maybe they like dividends now rather than investment - their incentives definitely point that way. Giving them more power is unlikely to end well.
